5000, 100000 Capital Affected
by the Decision OF the supreme Court
in the Rate PRIent Case.

The supreme court of the United States
Monday, in an opinion read by Justice
Harlan, decided that the date of issue and
not the date of application for an Amer
lean patent, determines whether or not il
expires coincidentally with a foreign patent
granted for the same invention. The de-
cision was made in the case of the Bate
Refrgerating company versus Ferdinand
Sulzberger, ct al. The decision affects adj
versey many patents, notably in connec-
ton with the use of the telephone, the cleo
trio light and many other valuable inven-
tions, all tod, it is estimated, representing
100000, 600 of capital which are by the
decision held to have expired
Westinghouse people say the Bate Re-
frigerator case wipes out every one of the
General Electric company's patents which
has thus far been sustained in the courts.
The decision terminates many Edison pa
tents relating to electric lighting which
have protected Edison licenses, but it will
bring about a great decrease in the cost of
patent litigation.
