A Patent Causes Litigation

Boston, October 4.--Acting on the recent
decision of the United States circuit court
for the southern district of New York, es-
tablishing, it is claimed the validity of the
patent issued in 1881 to James e. Low for
crown and bridge dental work which was
assigned to a certain company, the pres
ent holders of the patent have placed at
tachments upon the office of seven Boston
dentists.
This patent has been the cause of an i'm
mense amount of litigation and it is said
that nearly every dentist in the country
has used the crown and bridge work. After
the New York decision circular was sent
to dentists requesting that they pay S25 a
year for every year during which they have
used the work. Some of them it is said
have agreed to this but most of them are
determined to avoid payment If possible,
and they have organized to fight the case.
They say the matter will be taken to the
United States circuit court of appeals and
United States supreme court II necessary.
