Swedish Patent Office

Swedish Patent Office authorized a patent, provided the claim was changed to read a method of producing growth-controlling agents. Merely labeling an old process with a new use, as was done in this case, would not qualify for a patent in the United States. 

The Austrian, Danish, Dutch, Norwegian, and Swedish classifications are based on the German. Generally, the main classes are identical, but the subdivision of the classes is not so extensive. The Swedish Patent Office in December 1948 published a revised classification manual 179). The Patent Office sets of the patents of these countries are also supplemented by useful yearly indexes.
