CURTISS IN CONTROL
OF ALL SEAPLANES
Wins Contest With Inventor
Janin Over HydrOaerO-
plane Patent.
CAN COLLECT ROYALTIES

Word was received from Washington
n, the Aero Gu of America yesterday
that the patent tribunal had granted
a decision In favor Of Glenn II. Curtiss
in his litigation with Albert ii. Janin
over a hydroaeroplane patent. The de-
cIsion gives Curtiss exclusive rights In
this country for all marine flying ma
chimes.
The patent involved in the litigation
was ON a device which BALANCED the
f,ying machine on the water and at the
same time enabled 1t to rise from the
surface at a high rate OF speed. IL
consisted of a small wooden plane, at
tached to the bottom of floats
ing the lower wings.
Mr.. Janin. who Is a cabinetmaker on
Staten Island, claimed that he made the
invention in 1909, before Mr.. Curtiss
had succeeded with his flying boats. and
that he applied for a patent first or
January 26. 1911. while Curtiss did not
apply until August of that year. Ht
said that inability to finance his ideas
had prevented him from putting then
into practice.
When the case was heard the examin'
ers OF Interference decided against Janln
saying that he had slept on his rights
until Curtiss's successes became widel,
published. shortly afterward. In Janu'
airy OF this year. their decision was re-
versed by the board of examiners. The
ground given for the reversal was tha'
Janln had been striving continually to
put his idea into practice and had beer
prevented by inability to secure funds
Curtiss announced at the time that HI
would appeal.
Recent rulings have given to Curtis
the sole title to flying boat patents
saturdays decision places him In com
plete control Of the entire seaplane sit
uation-both flying boats and hydro
aeroplanes. He will now be enabled Il
collect royalties for every machine o
either type built in this country.
Among the companies now manufac'
turing seaplanes are the Wright Com
