VICTORY FOR
INDEPENDENTS
LOWER COURT is REVERSED I'M
DECISION OF CASE INVOLV-
ING PATENTS ON THE sEL
DEN AUTO ENGINE.

New York, Jan. 9.-The so-called in
dependent automobile manufacturers
won a sweeping victory today in the
United States circuit court of ap-
peals in a reversal of the decree Of
Judge Hough in the circuit court
wherein the Selden patent was up
held.
The higher courts ruling declares
that the defendant neither legally
nor morally owed anything to the
ratentee and holds that the improved
Otto engine used by the defendants
in motor vehicle construction is the
equivalent of the Selden engine, but
that its use is not an infringement
on the Selden patent. Accordingly
Judge Hough's injunction of the Ford
Motor Company, Tanhard and Legas-
ser, and others, restraining them
from from using the Otto engine or
the ground of infringement, must be
dismissed by the lower court, to
which the causes were remanGed
with such instructions"
The opinion was written by Judge
Noies.
