The Supreme Court has decided
the telephone cases in favor OF the
Bell patent. In the majority Opin.
ion, written by the Chief Justice, it
is declared that Prof. Bell discover.
ed the art by which speech is trans
mitted by electricity, and invented
the means by which the art is made
practical. 1t is held that the patent
is not too broad. Drawbaugh did
not anticipate Bell; that the
Bell claim was fraudulently chang
ed after filed in the Patent Office
is not sustained by evidence, and
that not a shadow of suspicion rests
upon any one.
Justices Bradley, Field and Har'
Ian dissent from this opinion. They
hold that Drawbaugh did anticipate
Bell, and Justice Bradley expresses
their opinion in very vigorous lam
guage. 1t has been a close case, but
not one Of very much Importance to
the private interests affected by it
Aside from the effect of the decision
upon speculations in stock, the Bel
Company could not have been bound
by an adverse decision, and the 9th.
or inventors would not have been
very materially benefited. The Bell
Company is in possession of the bust.
ness of telephoning and is the owner
of great number of patents which
have been issued since the invention
of the instrument now in use. Tele.
phones would be improved hun
dred per cent. probably by the en-
ployment of instruments owned by
the Bell Company, and even though
the original patent. now of short
life, should haye been declared in'
valid, its owners would continue to
control the business.
