THE QUADRUPLEX TELEGRAPH CASE
THE DECISION or THE COMMISSIONER OF PATENTS
TO BE MADE TO-DAY-THE OPINION ADVERSE TO
EDISON, THE INVENTOR. AND FAVORABLE TO
PRESCOTT, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS TO BE ISSUED IN
THEIR NAME.
WAsHIyGToy, March 21.-The quadruplex tele-
graph question excites much interest, especially
among telegraph operators. BY the duplex system
two messages are transmitted over one wire
at the time in opposite directions. ana oy inc
Improvement of Edison, known as the quadruplex
system four messages are sent over the same wire
simultaneously, two in each direction The history
If the case before the Commissioner OF Patents IS
briefly as follows In 1871. Thomas A. Edison assigned
to George Harrington interest IN certain lnYen-
lions then made and to be made in the automatic or
fast system of telegraphing. subsequently Edison
invented certain improvements in duplex telegraphs
and in 1873 he conveyed to George D. prescott
an interest in the latter inventions, aud this con-
veyance or assignment is Of record III tne FatehV
Office BY its terms the patents for the Inventions
in duplex telegraphs would Issue 10 Edison and
Prescott In 1874 and before the patents TO these
inventions had issued, Edison filed an application
setting forth that bis assignment to Prescott was
made under misapprehension Of the force and eff
feet of his previous assignment to Harrington, and
praying that the patents might issue to Edi"on and
Harrington Prescott on learning these facts obtained
an Injunction from the Chancellor of the State Of
New-Jersey enjoining the Commissioner against
such issue. and the case came up before tue COM
missioner of Patents month ago upon the appllca-
ton of Prescott for the issue of patents TO himself
and Edison. in accordance with the assignment OF
1873 Precott appeared before the Commissioner by
Messrs. Roscoe Conllling j. Hubley Ashton, and q.
Z. Lowrey, and Edison was represented by Messrs.
John II. b. Latrobo and ~ ID. Leggett.
ex-Commissioner of Patents. The Commissioner
of Patents will make pnblIc his decision
Tomorrow 1t is understood he holds that Edison's
agreement with Harrington was made before the in
ventions in question in existence. and that his
assignment to Prescott after the Investigations
completed hence the legal title is in Edison
and Prescott, to whom the patents must issue The
Commissioner further holds that he IS not called
upon 20 decide the question Of the equities in the
case but chat the legal title to the patents must be
decided 80 far as the Patent Office is concerned, by
the facts which are of record in that office.
