THANS FOR S\l\l,l, FAVORS | A Trifling Involuntary Concession from the Telephone Monopoly THE EXPIRING PATENT DETAILS OF The Trunk of the System Publle Property, | but Al Br; Secure from Trese ~The Invention and the Inventor, el pan e second of the telephone patents granted Alexander Graham Hell expires on ‘Tuesday, the B0th inst. T'he patent is oficially de ribed as follows: *“Tho combination, with an clectro-magnet, of a plate of iron or steel | or other material canable of inductive action, which can be thrown 1nto vibration by the movement of surrounding air or by the at- traction of a magnet. ‘The formation in electric telephc upon the end or ends of the magnet n theplate.

Bell secured March 7 televhone applian tem, which, while pro A tri 20 wny mevhod Whatever by which attioniate ds could bo conveyed by means of el No one at that time fa jed how extensive the competition among_inventors would become, So rare n thing as Prof. Bell's device scemed deserving of all he had asked. Perhaps ten later @ patent £0 extensive in its u would tot have been granted to any inveator. But that was the beginning of the great battle of inventors, and the first man in the field secured almost anything he asked. It was not the beginning of the work of transmitting sound over wire. Harmonious gounds were easily managed before that But to find just that delicate instrumeny which would” respond to the challenge of each articulate sound, take it up ana carr it unchunged over miles of distance; to sc cure that adjustment which would not only convey a series of words audibly from the speaker to the hearer, but would even trans. mit that quality which enabled you to reco a different matter. Yot when the inventors learneg the way lrmg’ which harmonious sounds'could travel they had the key to the gates of articulate Of course there was never a_dispute as to the Bell origin of the transmitter. And the patent under which 1t was granted was so broad that they might almost have relied on hat to protect them from any rivals in the future. But the magneto transmitter was not a success, Words could be sent even over miles of wire 1f all conditions were favorable. But words ana wind and count- less troubles jarred on the lines at any small provocation and the magneto wus not found all that was desired in commercial work. (uiick on the heels of that first patent came a troop of other inventors. And while their cases were pending the Bell company, recognizing the ineficiency of its rec g devices, asked for patents on structural plans, which would make the magneto all they hoped forit. It will be observed this application for subsidiary patents in a man- ner confessed their absence in the original blanket patent. And when the race was nearly even and other inventors ware secur- ing rights on devices, the Bell attacked them in the courts, relying not on its orig- inal generous charter, but alleging an in- fringement of later acquired rights, To this the rival inventors replied tnat the Bell was unduly protected; that its first patent cov- ered all its later appliances: that it hadeno right to claim under both the original and subsequent patents on the same device, Why Edison Was Defented. And those suits huug on for years. The Edison application was first encountered in the patent ofiic company instituted what are called inter- ference proceedings to determine which of the two had prior_rights. The Edison was backed up by the Western Union Telegraph company. After a few years the courts sustained the Bell patents” and Eaison then allowed a decree to be en ed without op- position in favor of an instrument cailed the Berhuer, owned and made by the Bell This controversy had progressed so long that when the decree was finally entered the Berliner patents took a lito w valuable. But if the Edison pai been then upheld they would hrve run to 1008, Good patent lawyers believe one rea- son the Edison was defeated at that time was because public policy would be best sub- served thereby. The Berliner method, which the on attacked, could only run to 1804, The Edison success would have m- flicted & monopoly half a generation beyond that time. “The Brown Telophione company, which of late years has been the Bell's most vigorous tagonist, took up the old magneto device, which has been free since the expiration of he Bell patent in Mareh last, and supplica it with a device which makes it successful for all manner of long distance uses. It has been tried and found successful over 700 miles of an actual line 1 New York. But it does not infringe the battery rights acquired under the later patents. These rights ure uow 1n litigation in a Massachusetts court. Judge R. 8. Taylor of Fort Wayne, Ind., government counsel in the case, was scen yesterday, and he talked freely about the telephone cases. The claim ler which the Berliner method is at ked in Mussach isetts is that the patent rod by friud. 1 the government is suceessful, and the patent is decided void, then a man or company may build and sell any sort of telophone fnstrument which the battery principle employed i lll\' Berliner method. But if the Bell com: which owns the Bevliner p: s, is ssful no new instruments of o similar nature can be put inuse for many years, because the Berliner is the first invention of the batter ims of nis vatent are broad enough to cover any de vice of this character, though the issuanc of the patent_was so long delayed through the contests of other inveators. Will Continue to Rule, There are about eight other patents on auxill devie These ure for switches. calling circuits, signals and all that, which ure broadly claimed by the Bell company or tho subsidiary companies in which the Bell holds a coutrolling interest. Aund these onts must be declared invalid or avouted by different devices in order to successfully operate even priviate wires. For escape in this direction the public must e ably wurn to the Brown patents, which utilize the * old magneto, with receiving facilities of their own. But in a large way the reign of the tele- phioue monopoly 18 by no means affected and will not be for years. The hold the Bell company hus is almost as strong now as bo- fore the expiration of the two fundumental Jatents—that for transmission and that for viving. In the first place, to oporatea reat exchange, the immense switch board is 0 positive nocessity. It is the ability to bring 500 or 1000 subscribers together, so that any one may instantly be put into com- munication with auy other one, which makes the Bell so powerful, And iu the perfection an | cof a magnet with o coil | they will not be | by the Bell, and the latter | | | of this switch board system so many patented details enter that it will be impoo- | sible to avoid them In the past when an inventor found enough vaiuable patents o make profitable | the formation of & company it was forced to fizht the almosy omnipotent Bell or go into the Bell combinatior To a the former uieant exvensivo and prolonged litigation. with sresults uncertain.
