OPINION OP JUDUE GRIEH.
A I write with difficulty I can only state the con
elusion to which my mind has come after a carolti.
examination of this caae. I
The complaluant hae exhibited a patent dated
SSth of April, IHO. This is prima fade cviilonce o
It good title, and put on the respondent the bur
den of pro-if tliat the patent Is Told or worthless.
I need not repeat nv remark a in the case of (Jood
year vs. Day (i Wall, C. C. Kept W8. but now
ailopt them as affording a rnle ol deciiion which ap
plies clearly fa the preeant oaae.
Aa the Infringement of the patent la admitted,
the only question will bo aa to the validity of com
plainants patent of April 15, 1868.
"It waa after speculation had been reduced to
practice," and alter repeated experiments, that the
complainant succeeded in ovcrcomfng-he prejudice
and ignnranre of the people on the subject, and
persuading tho pnhlic that bis Invention wasoaeriil;
after he had established Its great utility and value,
and "when his gen'm and patient pcrsovemnco, in
apite of sneer and scon," were completely suc
cessful, that Heed, who had before made experi
ment on the same subject, and waa unsuccessful,
im-iirfnod that he had the beat itaht to the Invention,
ntid after purchasing one or mora complainant's tor
pedoe. he applied on the 1st of November, MOT.
for a patent for sulwtantlally tho aamu combina
tion of dovices and n aehinecontalned in complain
nnfs intent. On tho 1Mb of the same month the
respondent formed themselves Into a company or
corporation called "The Reed Torpedo Companv,"
for the purpose of pirating tho complainant's 'in
vention, and suppnrtinz the expense of lltiirntlon,
and tints defraud him of the fruits. They have per
severed, even sftir the preliminary Injunction very
properly granted by the District .Indite.
Let a decree he entered formmplafnant for a per
petual Injunction, and a Master appointed to take
an account according to the prayer of the bill.
U. U OKI EH, Judge.
Horn The peasoee referred to by .Indpi Orler In
hi former decfa'on, 8 Wallace, p. jlto adopted as
app linbte to this case waa as follows:
it is n-utiny tne case, when any valuable discov
ery la made, or any new machine of great ntblty Is
Invented, thut theattentlon of tho public has been
turned to that snhjout prev'onaly, and that many
lieivons have been making researches and expert,
menu. I'liiloaopluT ami mechanicians may have
in some measure antlciDated In their n,.,.ni.ii.
the possibility or prolMhility of snch discovery or
invention; many experiments have been .ncccssful
ly tiled, coining very near, yet fhlllnir short oi tho
desired result. Thy have prodnced notlilno bene
ficial. The Invention when perfected may truly be
sid to be the culminating point of many oxuori
. mens, not only by the Inventor, hnt by many oth
ers. He may nave pnitlted Indirectly by Ihe linsuc
ce'sful experiments and fhilnrna of others, hut It
gives the n no richt to claim a thar of tbc he nor of
the proiit of the successful inventor It is when
speculation has been reduced to practice, when ex
periment has resulted In dtg-vivery. and when that
discovery has been perfect, d ny patient ana contin
ued cxperrtnts. when eoum new compound, art,
manufacture, or machine has been ihna produced
which is uaefnl to thepuhllcthat the porry making It
beeoines apnhlic benefactor and entitled to a patent.
"And yet when genius and pall, nt perseverance
have at length snccecded, In ,l'o nfiinrer and
scon's, gome valuable Invention or dlsco-ory, bow
seldom is it followed by reward I Knvy robs him
or the honor, while speculators, swindlers, nnd pl
, rate rob hint of the profits. Every unsuccessful
experimenter who did or did or did not como very
near making a discovery now claims it. JSvery one
who etui invent an improvement or vary Its form,
claims a right to pirate tho orisinal discovery. We
need not summons Morse, or Illanc.hnrd, or Wood
work to prove that this ia the usual history of ova
ry ureal discovery or Invention.
"The present case adds another chapter to this
rnne and uniform hUter." 2 Wallace, C. C He-
