MAKES DECISION
In PATENT CASE

plane Manufacturers.

Chief Justice Shepard. of the District
Court OF Appeals. yesterday handed
down a decision which may AFFECT valu-
able patent rights OF well known aero

instate the application made by Hugo
Mattulath, who died In this city Deoem-
Der 90. 1902, for a patent on q flying ma
chine, filed January s, 1900. His widow,
Mrs. Meta Mattulath. has engaged in a
spirited legal contest with the interests
which control most OF the aeroplane
patent rights. The death of Mattulath
operated as a revocation Of the power
Of attorney to the patent attorneys pros
ecuting the case. and the application was
taken from the record. In 1909 Mrs. Mat
tulath sought TO restore her rights.
claiming that she and her three daugh-
ters knew nothing of the interests her
husband had IN the invention Of the aero
plane until a New York lawyer had Ask
ed her for consent to look over the hles
in the patent application. Mrs Mattu-
lath renewed her efforts for a patent,
but her attorney died In 1910. leaving her
affairs In q badly tangled state. As
sistant Commissioner Tenant denied
the widows renewed petition for rein
statement OF the application on March 8,
1911. on the ground that Unavoidable de-
lay had not been proved" Chief Justice
Shepard's decision directs the reinstate-
ment OF the application made by Mrs
Mattulath's husband in. 1900.
