Firestone Co. Wins Legal Battle

SPECIAL Dispatch TO Every Evening
Akron. O.. Dec 16.-The FIrestone
Tire and Rubber Co won a sweeping
victory when the United States Court of
Appeals at Cincinnati reversed the de-
cision Of the District Court in the Good
year Tire machine patent case with IN
strlctions to dismiss the bill and de-
clared the Seiberting and Stevens patents
and the State patents invalid. Suit was
brought against the Frestone Company in
April, 1914, on alleged basic patents for
the manufacture Of pneumatic tires by
machine. The rate of royalties established
would have amounted TO millions of dol
lars per year from the tire manufacturer
and the automobile owners. This victory
is more far reaching in savings TO the auto
mobile industry than the victory in the
Perlrnan rim case, which was also an
alleged basic patent demanding tribute
from every automobile using demount-
able rims
