““Agents of the public have no more right to take such private property than other individuals under that provision, as it contains no exception warranting any such invasion of the private rights of individuals. Conclusive support to that proposition is found in a recent decision of this court, in which it is held that the government cannot, after the patent is issued, make use of the improvement any more than a prívate individual, without license of the inventor or making him compensation. U. S. v. Burns, 12 Wall. 246 .””
