ENORMOUS PROFITS IN MOVING PICTURES
Thomas Edison As inventor Gets About $1,000 Week. Nearly $685.
900 yeaRecognzed Producers Get an Injunction Against un
authorized Traders Now Some 5000 Shows in This Coun-
try Which Exhibit Motion Pictures.

| Edison Manufacturing Company, the
! Essaney Film Manufacturing Com
pany, the Gaumont Company, the
Kalem Company, George Kleine, the
| Lubin Manufacturing Company,
George Melies, Pathe F-eres, the
Selig Polyscope Company and the
Vitagrlph Company of America, eight
of them being American concerns and
the Others European interests.
And here is what the business
amounts to in dollars and cents:
Twenty productions are issued each
week in this country. Each is of 900
feet of film, making $4,000 feet, and
eighty of each are issued, making l.
440, 900 feet. On this production a
royalty of one-half cent per foot is
paid to Mr.. Edison, giving him from
this source weekly revenue CT
$1,000.
Since the settlement under which
these royalties Gre paid there has
arisen swarm of people, of whom
Carl Laemmle is one, who have gone
into the business of supplying moving
picture films in which they had to
violate Mr.. Edison's patent rights.
In the course of it they have taken
from the concerns already enum-
Grated some of their employees and
actors, paying them preposterously
high prices, and then in some cases
letting them go after having used
their talents and information for
short period. Their main contention
before the public and the profession,
or business, has been that the con-
i J..
were violating the Sherman law and
would sooner or later have to quit,
while really these concerns are using
patents on which they are paying
royalties.
THE matter just decided by Judge
Noyes was an action by the Motion
Picture Patents Company against
Carl Laemmle and the Independent
Moving Picture Company and against
the Paragraph Company. The Judge
has ruled that the validity of the pat
ent in question has already been ad-
Indicated, and he adds, and infringe
ment on the part of the defendant
corporations is conceded He also
says: 1 am also of the opinion that
the charge, if established, that the
complainant is itself, or is a member
Of a combination in violation of the
Federal antitrust statute, is not
defense available in an action for the
infringement Of patent and fails to
show a defect in the complainant's
title. An injunction against the de-
PENDANT corporations may therefore
issue. The proof of personal in
fringement by the defendant Laemmle
is, however, deemed insufficientto war;
rant the issuance of an injunction
against him and it is denied. But
this action is without prejudice to the
right of the complainant to renew
his application in case future acts
of personal infringement are dis
closed"
The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1910-03-25

New York City-Since the settle
ment not long ago of the differences
between Thomas A. Edison and the
Biograph people and various indie
pendent moving picture companies,
which resulted in Mr.. Edison reaping
profits of his genius and industry,
a settlement which followed Federal
Courts affirmation of Mr.. Edison s
patent rights. peace had promised to
reign among the manufacturers OF the
pictures for the first time in nearly
fifteen years. But a few months ago
number of new manufacturers
sprang up who, it is charged, boldly
infringed upon Mr. Edisons patents
and set about justifying themselves
on the ground that, as they alleged,
the eleven manufacturers in this
country and Europe who since the
settlement have been paving Mr.. Edi-
son royalties were violating the Sher-
man antitrust law.
It is declared that these men repre-
scented that they would either break
up the settlement or force Mr.. Edison
to open his patents to them. This idea
of contending that the exercise of an
inventors patent rights led to viola
ton of the Sherman law was the only
novel feature in the litigation, which
resulted in decision by Judge Moves,
of the United States Circuit Court,
that an injunction should lie against
the group of defendants, who ad-
mittedly have been infringing upon
Mr.. Edisons patents, the defendants
being Carl Laemmle and the indie
pendent Moving Picture Company of
America, of which he is president.
and the Pantograph Company.
The president of one of the COM
panies which are paying royalties to
Mr.. Edison said: You may see
at a glance that with the 100000
or 100000 persons who make UP
the daily attendance of the $4,000
moving picture theatres in this coun-
try the question of the supply of these
films is matter of wide interest.
But there is a more intimate interest
for the great bulk Of the American
people who admire Thomas A. Edi-
son, and that part of the story has
never been told. MI. Edison has al
ways given his patents to the public
or told the public of his achievements
almost before he had the patents out
and before he had organized any COM
panies to operate under them with
the result that in no single instance,
/ believe, has he reaped the undis-
turbed benefit of his brain work.
"Now, until the settlement of the
moving picture patent dispute in his
favor. which resulted in the union of
the Edison and Biograph Companies
in the Motion Picture Patents Com

decided by Judge Noyes-he wasn't

Gradually I began to get better,
