    This act repeals an act first passed in 1851, which allowed anyone who is a British subject to apply for a patent in the province if they have invented something new, whether it be a product or an art, machine, manufacturing method, or composition matter. It replaces the 1851 act with new measures for those seeking to apply for a patent in Newfoundland.
