Court for final decision.
While in the aggregate, the royalties |
on the Selden patent amounted to a con- |
sum. they were comparatively |
small on each car. members paying last |
year from s: to $14 according to the price |
of the car. Considering the fact that only !
in few instances was more than $1i |
paid on the high priced cars. it can be
readily understood how little effect the
reversal of the patent is going to have on
general trade conditions. Members of the |
association paid a net royalty Of eight
tenths of 1 per cent. but with the re-
funds in many cases it made the royalty
as low as s. on the low priced machine,
and in very few instances more than $l4
on the very big cars. Any idea that there
can be any change in prices because man.
ufacturers are no longer required to pay
royalties is therefore eliminated.
