OPINION OP JCDUB GRIER.
As I write with dtfflcnlty I can only state the con
CMiskins to which my mind baa Come after a carolu
lamination of thlt case j
T complainant has exhibited a patent dated
36th of April, 18 i6. Thla is prima facie evidence ol
a good title, and pnta oo the respondent the bur
don of pro if that the intent la Told or worthless.
I need not repeat my remarks in the case of Uood
yaar v. Pay ('2 Wall, C. a Hep; soM.) but now
adopt them as affording a ruloi decision which an.
pile clearly to the present ctae.
As the infringement of the patent la admitted,
the only question will bo aa to the validity of com
plainants patent of April Itt, law.
"It was after speculation hid hocn reduced to
practlco," and alter repeated experiments, that the
complainant succeeded in overeoailnir'he prejudice
and fguoraiice of the people on the sulifect, and
persuading the public tbiu his invention ivas useful;
after he had established Its great ii'.llltr and value,
and "when hia eenius atid patient perseverance, Iu
spito of sneers and scot)-," were completely suc
cessful, that Heed, who had before made experi
ments on the same subject, and was iuiiucco.-fiil,
inuivtned that he hid the host rliit totnelnvention,
and alter purchasing one or more complainant's tor
pedoes, he antriied on the 1st of November, 18i:i,
for a patent for substantially tho same combina
tions of devices and mat lilne contained In complain
ant's patent. On the 18th of tho same month the
respondents formed themieives Into a company or
corporation called "The Reed Torpedo Ckiinpaur,"
for the purpose of pintin? tho complainant's in
vention, and supporting the expanse of litiiration,
and thns defraud him of the fruits. They have per
severed, even after the preliminary Injunction very
properly grunted by the liistrict .ndgo.
Let a dtcrco be entered forcomnlninmt rn. . nA.
petual injnactlon. and a Master appointed to take
au account according to the prayer of the bill.
H. 0. GKJKlt, Judge.
Nora The passage referred to bv .Tndpe drier in
his former deci.'on, a Wallace, p. 2M) adopted as
applicable to this case was as follows: '
'It Is usually tho case, when any valuable dicov
ery la nodo, or any new machine of great utility Is
liivented, that theaitcntlon of tho public has been
turned to liut subjeet previously, and that many
persons have been making researches and experi
ments. Philosophers and mechanicians umv have
in some measure anticipated in their sp-cu"iatiou
the possibility or proliahility of such discovery or
invention; many experiments have been successful
ly tiled, coming very near, yet Tallin? short ot the
desired result. They have prodnced" notion" bene
ficial. The Invention who;; perfected may truly be
a aid to he the culminating point or many experi
men s. not only by the inventor, but by many oth
ors. He may hnv profited Indirectly by the iinsuc
cessfnl experiments and failunm of others, but it
gives thein no riirht to claim a share of the heuor of
tho proilt of the successful inventor Jt is when
speculation has ben reduced to practice, when ex
periment has resnlted in dii wery. and when that
discovery has been perfected hy patient and contin
td expnritucnts. whoa some noiv compound, art,
manufacture, or maohlno has been thus produced
which is usefnl to tuepuhlic,that the party making it
heeomes a public benefactor and entitled to a patent
"And yet when gnnius and puib nt neweverance
have at length succeeded, in spite of sneers and
feoffs, some valuable invention or disco' ery. how
seldom is it followed by reward I Envy robs him
ef tho honor, while speculators, swindlers, and pi
rates rob him of the profits. Every unsuccessful
xporlmenter who did or did or did not como very
near making a discovery now claims it. Kverv oua
who can invent au Improvement or vary its form,
claims a right to pirate the original discovery. We
need not summons Mow, or 1)1 inc'inrd, or Wood
worth to provo that this is the usual history of eve
ry creat discovery or invention.
"The present case adds nnother chapter to this
longand uniform history." 2 Wallace, C. C It.
