bought properties in Estes Park, near
Colorado Springs; Lake Geneva, in

purposes it's less experienced secreta-

In addition to this. the association
has established institutions of college
grade at Chicago and Springfield, Mass,
which have very much larger attend
ance, for example, than any other the
illogical school of this country, and
where not only secretaries but phys
alton specialists are trained. The ex-

ACTION IN PATENT CASE
is SUSTAINED ON APPEAL
Commissioners Rejection of Claims
Made by Mrs. Josephine 81.
Fritts Is Upheld.

In an ouinion rendered yesterday by
Justice Robb the District Court of APP
peals affirms the action of the commits
sioner of patents in disallowing certain
claims of patent application by Jose
phine H Fritts, administrator of the
estate of Charles E. Fritts. The petit
toner sought to enforce claims of
priority over rights of subsequent in
ventors in methods and apparatus for
recording and reproducing pulsations
or variations in sounds, lights and
electrical currents.
Had the court held with the claim
ant. it is said, a number of patents in
the moving picture world and in photo

dated. The original claim of F'ritts ap-

Regarded as Abandoned.

1t was claimed by the patent Office
that by not enforcing the alleged
claims by interferences and by allow
ing the other patents to be issued
without opposition the petitioner had
abandoned his claims.
Justice Robb points out that the
other patentees had no knowledge of
the claims now sought to be prose-
cuted. and that even the patent Office
was unaware of any interference in
fact He knew" says the court. that
as reward for making useful or
valuable invention the law granted a
monopoly for seventeen years. yet he
deliberately stood by and permitted
those patentees to exploit those inven-
tions for the full statutory period. and
now, when the financial returns will
be far greater. he asks as a reward
for his laches second monopoly for
a like term of years"
