HISTORY OF THE PROSECUTION.
Grounds ” on ’Which . the Government
Asked CanceHotioai' of the Patent.
Several years ago It became known
to the public that the American Bell
Telephone Company was holding back
ln the patent office an application of
one Emil Berliner of Hanover, Germa
ny, which had been filed in the early
days of telephony. It was said, then,
by thusa who have knowl->dge of tho
ftict, that this was done to the ctid
that tlie patent might issue at about
time original Bell patents expired, and
thereby cpjUnue the telephone monop
oly Xof"»evemeou years from the time
whea it sflould isaue. The patent was
finally granted to the Bell Company
Nov. 17, 1891.
The original Bell patent expired
March 7. 1891, and Che second Bell pat
ent in January of the following year.
The Blake patent on the transmitter
and 'the Dunning patents no tho long
distance transmitter, expired before
either of the Bell patents because they
were limited tn duration, by the expira
tion of prior foreign patents. By decis
ions In the courts, the Edison patents
also expired for the same reason.
These, with the Heritor* patent, con
stituted the fundamental patents of the
Bell telephone monopoly, and hence tho
Berliner pafent has reoently been the
sole wall of defense of this monopoly
against free competition, excepting, of
coups', minor details of the machine.
In the brief nn which Attoroey-G**n-
eral MHler began proceedings for tot
annulment of the Berliner patent If
Bet forth at length the case against thi
monopoly. '
The application' for the patent was
filed by Berliner June 4, 1877, In 1878
It became »ttie Property of the Bel
Company, aod the prosecution of tin
case through the paterit office wai
thenceforth in the hands of that com
pany. There were many etages in thi
history ^of this application, until all o
a fiirtRTen it was allowed oy the patenr
office, a»B3ut a year and ‘a half befori
the original Bell patents were to ex
pi re.
This delay of fourteen' years was on*
of the grounds alleged by the govern
meat for Invalidating the Berliner pat
ent. It was further claimed by th«
government that this great delay had
been designedly caused with the intern
of prolonging the monopoly.
‘Another ground an which d$i3 govern,
mont claimed that tlhe patent tihuuld
be tovalldated was ithat thte npplica
tion'wus for a patent on Rcnuchhlin-g es
sentiatiy differenit from that on which
Uhe .patent nvas issued. The olutai was
jrnde thoit ©erlihger’s appKcajfio-n, n«s
filed to .tihe paltjent office J-une 4, 1877,
showed and described a te^dphonfi
transmitter which dlcipentieti. in ita ocn-
struction on a "make and break" cir
oult, While ’Ai Uhe paltcmt as Uioued nc
such "make and breuk" tram^i.TJJ;tei
•was ehoiwn. On tihe ot'her hand, thi
patent was i^ued if or a tran&miLtter in
whScIh tt'he eflectrodies are in ttonatam.l
comtaot. The aittorniay-<generjil cf.iangwi
'Ihat the attorney of the Bell Company
ameniiid the apEfliScatlloin. by Otrikinn
out mhe drawings on tihe and euihsMuut
dng new ones, and striking out th* en
tire specification; except ifoe preamble,
and ilho sijgnatures, and oubatCtutlmB
a m.ew one, whlWh was not dteed or
sworn HA> (by. BerUmcr unitil long after
ward. The complalnit dujurgeil thal
this • was drawn with consummate
art, and ivvitih intent, as your oratoz
bo3iov’!(» and cWanges, to mislead un-d
deceHw the examiner In flhe oaJtent of
fice by concerning from hiim that ih<\
amramlment lntrotiJUced into the au.-li-
catk>n a new and subsfii.nitlaa Inven
tion not found In (the origlinai applica
tion."
This difference mis not discovered
for -two years after *t!he amended a:p-
pijcation was made, and then, and for
some years aifterwtirds 1 , the delay in
rejecting flhe application on flhla
ground was used as one anzument
why it should nbt be rejected.
Berliner at length filed an affidavit in
which ho said that the matter described
in the substitute was invented by him
prior to filing the original and formed
part of tho original Invention. The gov
ernment held that this statement was un-
Jtrue, and that he did not Intend to de
scribe a continuous circuit Instrument at
the beginning. The filing of this affidavit,
tho government held, constituted fraud
sufficient for tho repeal of tho patent.
Berilner took out a patent November 2,
1880, which. It was held, described the
same apparatus as shown in tho patent
under consideration. It was then claimed
to bo a "receiver." In the 1891 patent,
tho same instrument was claimed as a
“transmitter." It was, therefore, claimed
that In 1880 the commissioner of patents
had exhausted his power as regards this
invention and had no jurisdiction to issue
the 1891 patent.
It was further dalmed that long prior
to the alleged invention of tho Instrument
covered by four claims ln the /atent it
was in use by Thomas A. Edison, and that
the Bell Company knew that Berliner
was not the original Inventor, but con
cealed that fact from the commissioner
of patents.
Many Irregularities, errors and unlaw
ful acts on the part of the patent office
officials were charged as additional
grounds for Invalidating the Berliner pat
ent
KISSED BY A WIDOW IN PUBLIC.
Police Captain James Ennis of the Stag*
Street police station ln Brooklyn was
hugged and kissed on the street the other
day by a woman not his wife. Tha gal
lant captain retaliated by swearing out a
warrant against the woman and causing
her arrest.
Tho woman who thus publicly hugged
and kissed the captain Is said to be crazy,
but the captain’s friends Insist that her
course of conduct tn relation to C&pt. En
nis was not necessarily a sign of her In
sanity. The captain, however. Is gener
ally known as a thoroughly domestic
man. He has been annoyed for two years
by this woman, whoso name is Straltor,
and who Is a widow.
Capt. Ennis was standing at Graham
avenue and Stags street the other morn
ing waiting for a car to take him to po
lice headquarters, when Mrs. Straltor
come at him auddenly and, throwing rer
arms around his neck, hugged him tight
and then Imprinted several kisses on his
blanched cheeks. She made a brave, but
ineffectual effort, to reach his mouth.
Naturally, & crowd collected, and he sue-
ceeded. In getting rid of the woman only
by promising to meet her today.
C&pt. Ennis went to police headquarters
and on his return to the eastern district
he visited Judge Watson’s police court
and got a warrant for Mrs. Straltor** ar
rest under section 675 of the Penal Code.
When arrested she declared she waa en
gaged to Capt. Ennia. She was committed
to Jail for examination as to her sanity.—
