New York City.?Since the settlement
not long ago of the differences
between Thomas A. Edison and the
Biograph people and various independent
moving picture companies,
which resulted in Mr. Edison reaping
profits of his genius and industry, !
* settlement which followed a Federal
Court's affirmation of Mr. Edisor's
patent rights, peace had promised to
reign among the manufacturers of the
pictures for the first time in nearly
fifteen years. But a few months ago
a number of new manufacturers
sprang up who, it is charged, boldly
Infringed upon Mr. Edison's patents
and set about iintlfvlne- fhomcplroe
an the ground that, as they alleged,
the eleven manufacturers In this
lountry and Europe who since the
lettlement have been paying Mr. Edison
royalties were violating the Sherman
anti-trust law.
It is declared that these men represented
that they would either break
up the settlement or force Mr. Edison
:o open his patents to them. This idea
af contending that the exercise of an
nventor's patent rights led to violalion
of the Sherman law was the only
lovel feature in the litigation, which
esulted in a decision by Judge Noyes,
)f the United States Circuit Court,
hat an injunction should lie againet
.he group of defendants, who aduittedly
have been infringing upon i
dr. Edison's patents, the defendants
leing Carl Laemmle and the Indelendent
Moving Picture Company of
America, of which he is president;
ind the Pantograph Company.
The president of one of the comlanies
which are paying royalties to
dr. Edison said: "You may see
it a glance that with the 4,000,000

"Now. until the settlement of the
moving picture patent dispute in his
Tavor, which resulted in the union of
the Edison and Blograph Companies
in the Motion Picture Patents Company?the
plaintiff in the action just
iecided by Judge Noyes?he wasn't
getting anything from his moving picture
invention and was involved in
lostly litigation. Since then these

the Gaumont Company, the

Lubin Manufacturing Company,
George Melies, Pathe Freres, the
Selig Polyscope Company and the
Vitagraph Company of America, eight
of them being American concerns and
the others European interests.
"And here is what the business
amounts to in dollars and cents:
Twenty productions are issued each
week in this country. Each is of 900
feet of film, making 18,000 feet, and
eighty of each are issued, makinc 1.
440,000 feet. On this production a
royalty of one-half cent per foot is
paid to Mr. Edison, giving him from
this source a weekly revenue of
$7 200.
"Since the settlement under which
these royalties are paid there has
arisen a swarm of people, of whom
Carl E&emmle is one, who have gone
into the business of supplying moving
picture films in which they had to
violate Mr. Edison's patent rights.
In the course of it they have taken
from the concerns already enumerated
some of their employes and
actors, paying them preposterously
high prices, and then in some cases
letting them go after having used
their talents and information for a
Bhort period. Their main contention
before the public and the profession,
or business, has been that the concerns
paying the Edison royalties
were violating the Sherman law and
would sooner or later have to quit,
while really these concerns are using
patents on which they are paying
royalties.
"The matter just decided by Judge
Noyes was an action by the Motion
Picture Patents Company against
Carl Laemmle and the Independent
Moving Picture Company and against
the Pantograph Company. The Judge
has ruled that the validity of the pat
cut in question nas already been adjudicated,
and he adds, 'and infringement
on the part of the defendant'
corporations is conceded.' He also
says: 'I am also of the opinion that
the charge, if established, that the
complainant is itself, or is a member
of. a combination in violation of the
Federal anti-trust statute, is not a
defense available in an action for the
infringement of a patent and fails to
show a defect in the complainant's
title. An injunction against the defendant
corporations may therefore
issue. The proof of pergonal infringement
by the defendant Laemmle
is, however, deemed insufflcientto warrant
the issuance of an injunction
against him and it is denied. But
this action is without prejudice to the
right of the complainant to renew
his application in case future acts
of personal infringement are disclosed."
