Moby Thesaurus II by Grady Ward, 1.0
MANUFACTURE. This word is used in the English and American patent laws. This
term includes two classes of things; first, all machinery which is to be
used and is not the object of sale; and, secondly, substances (such, for
example, as medicines) formed by chemical processes, when the vendible
substance is the thing produced, and that which operates preserves no
permanent form. In the first class, the machine, and, in the second the
substance produced, is the subject of the patent. 2 H. Bl. 492. See 8 T. R.
