Interior Dept. Decisions

Arizona Public Service
     
  • This is a decision of the department of the interior. I find these decisions are not found in the law libraries. To get this one, I went to my U.S. Rep. Read it very carefully. This proves, when the U. S. patents the land, all title and control passes to the patentee. The word "generally" is used. What they are referring to is patents that have covenants on them. Go to PATENTS and you will see patents with covenants. The only place a covenant can be on land is in the patent proceedings. "the patent proceedings consist of the patent and the act, or acts of congress mentioned on the patent." All other covenants are a "collateral attack" on the patent.
