VALUE OF MARcoNI PATENTS

To best illustrate the immense value of
the Marconi wireless telegraph patents,
comparison should be made with that of
other notable inventions Of recent date.
For instance, the Dunlap Pneumatic
Tire company is an illustration OF the
mint of money there is in patents. 1t had
been in operation but two years when 1t
was sold for $l5,ooOOoo cash. The share
holders had then received in dividends and
premiums the sum Of ss2sO.575, and by the
terms of the sale received the further
sum Of $14,4s7,boO, giving a total result of
s17,sss,O75. The purchasers afterward re-
sold to another company for the sum OF
s25, 100000,
The Westinghouse Air Brake made
ssOOOO,000 in profits, and the Bell Tele-
Los Angeles herald., 1905-07-20

phone has paid s6s,OoO,oOo in dividends.
1t is claimed that there are in the United
States over 15O patents paying each more
than $i.OOo,oOO annually. According to an
estimate by the commissioners OF patents
three -fourths OF the entire manufacturing
capital Of the country. of upwards Of s6,-
900, 900, 900 is based on patents.
The products Of all the gold and silver
and diamond mines in the would would
not equal the annual incomes OF American
patentees.
Judging from the above facts and hg-
ures, it is not out of the way to estimate
the value of the Marconi patents at s25,-
900. 900.
