OUTCOME OF THE SUIT.
Philadelphia, June 1S.-Judge Dallas,
of the United States Court OF Philadel-
phia, this morning handed down an or
der granting a preliminary injunction
restraining the Peter j. Ford Morocco
Company, Charles Baird Company and
William b. Clerk, morocco manufac-
turers of Wilmington, Del. from using
the patent chrome process of the Amer
lean Patent Tannage Company.
The patent which was infringed upon
is chemical process for the tanning Of
glazed kid, which was patented by a
Philadelphia chemist named Schultz.
He accidentally discovered It one day
while experimenting with a chemical
for dyeing purposes. Schultz was not a
practical tanner, and did not realize the
importance OF his discovery, but he
took IL to George E. Roth, Of the firm
of Blumenthal a. Co., who Immediately
recognized its commercial value. He at
once bought the patent and later sold
Il to the American Patent Tannage
Company, the present defendant In the
suit. Roth, however. reserved the
right of his company TO use the pro-
cess. This accounts for this firm being
exempt from suits
The Patent Tannage Company sells
the right 10 use hte patent for a royal
| ty, said 10 be $4,000 year and 1914
cents on each dozen skins turnsA out.
1t was alleged that nearly al OF the
manufacturers here use the process
without paying the royalty, thus the
reason for the suits. II lIhe Ford com
pany alone had complied with the con-
ditions OF It's use II would have paid
over 100000.
The Patent Company, upon learning
ahat the Wilmington manufacturers
we're using the process, gave them a
notice that an injunction would be ask
ed for restraining them from using the
i patent The three aforementioned
firms paid no attention to the Patent
Companys threats, as they claimed
that they were not using the process
The Patent Company brought suit be-
fore Judge Wales, hut the case was
transferred to Judge Dallas court II
Philadelphia.
IL has not been proven, however, tina
the Wilmington firms had used the pat
ent.
Il was also stated that the Tannag
Company had detectives in the variou
shops in this city endeavoring to secur
some of the liquid to be used agains
them at the trial.
The case will now be heard in trial
= and great developments are expected.
! The decision Of Judg Dallas will hav
an effect on other manufacturers I'm tn
