A. EDISON
LOSES PATENT ON
FILMS IN MOVIES
Court Of Appeals Reverses
Ruling of Lower
Tribunal.

Practically removing the patents on
moving picture apparatus and saving
millions Of dollars TO motion picture
concerns. the Court of Appeals handed
down an opinion today reversing the
lower court on a decree that held that
Thomas A. Edison was the inventor of
the essential parts Of the motion pic
ture machine. and that the Motion
Pictures Patent Company, of New
York, virtually had a monopoly on the
business.
The suit was brought against the
Chicago Film Company for alleged In.
frinsement on the Edison patent, and
for an Injunction against its further
infringement. 1t was recognised that
the action was a test case involving
millions Of dollars, including the possi-
bility Of royalties being collected from
moving picture concerns for three
years back.
Chief Justice Shepard, who wrote the
opinion handed down today. holds that
Edison was not the inventor Of the
film. and that his patent 10 therefore in.

I'VE do not dissent from the PROPOSE

Chief Justice Shepard held that II was

Governor Baldwin says: "In my opin-
