memorandum of alteration

memorandum of alteration. English law. A patentee’s disclaimer of certain rights — such as rights to part of an invention that is not new and useful — to avoid losing the whole patent. • Until the mid-19th century, if a single patent was granted for two inventions, one of which was not new and useful, the entire patent would be defective.
