BY HOWARD FISK.

- r great interest in motoring cir
cles was the decision last week
reversing the action OF a lower
court in sustaining the validity
of the Selden patent on automo-
bileS. The decision was rendered by
Judge Moves in the United States court
of appeals for the second circuit. acting
for his confreres, Judges Lacombe and
Ward. In a nutshell. the decision upset
ting the patent was to the effect that Sell
den had patent on car that made use
of the, Brayton two-cycle engine. which
was of the constant pressure type, but
that his patent could not be considered
as covering the Otto gas engine, OF the
four-cycle constant volume type. Fur
thermore, the Otto used a carburetor and
electric ignition system, things not pro-
vided for in the Selden patent. There
fore it was ruled that those who were be-
ing sued did not infringe on the Selden
patent. The patent expires in Septem-
ber 1912, which means the end of the
contest In the meantime there will be
no more paying of royalties under this
decision. Had the patent d longer time
TO live. it has been predicted that the de-
ciSion would have meant lot more to
the licensed dealers. The fight was
started several years ago lie n. L. "a
NJ. was organized in 1909 and Judge
Houghs decision in the circuit court for
the southern district upholding the patent
was made September II. 1909
As the courts have disagreed on the
merits of the Seldfn patent on gasoline
automobiles, il was announced yesterday
that George h. Selden and others are ar
ranging to apply for writ of certiorari
with a view of having the case go to
the United States Supreme Court for final
decision.
Judge Hough sustained the patent and
held il infringed in the United States
circuit court for the southern district of
New York September IL, 1909. but yester-
day the decision of the court of appeals
was filed, which. while holding the pat
ent valid. decided that the defendants in
the case had not infringed.
The litigation has been long drawn out,
having been started in 1903. The patent
was recognized by probably more than
| half the industry prior to Judge HOugh' $
opinion in September, 1909. and following
his sustaining of the patent as covering
| the modern gasoline automobile large
number of other manufacturers secured
licenses under it, until now II is estimated
/ that almost ~ per cent of the gasoline
motor cars. including almost all of the
| veteran manufacturers. have taken IL
censes under the patent.

Judge Noyes' opinion Is that Selden
made combination of known elements in
his machine. and the important point TO
be considered is whether the engine as
an invention was OF the type used by
those alleged TO be infringing. A very
learned discussion in great particularly
of the elements entering into various
types of engines known in the ante
cedent art is given, and the decision
is arrived at that Selden's patent does
not cover the particular sort of motor
used in the so-called infringing cars. 1t
Is set forth that Selden certainly did have
ideas ahead OF his times and that he is
entitled to credit and profit for them.
However. the judge and his associates
are not able TO hold that the Otto engine
is the equivalent of the Selden engine,
which the Rochester man made an
Improvement upon and adaptation of the
Brayton engine. and. therefore. the de-

Mr. Fitzgerald declared that no SEES

tention to the fact that no new Jobs
have been created under Democratic
auspices and sixty-five salaried posi-
lions have been abolished and more
than 100000 saved to the government
annually.
