" OPINION OP JUDGE GKIEIt As I write with tlifflenlty I can only state the. con elusions to which my mlud has come after a carafti lamination of this case. voiii The complainant has exhibited a patent dated S5th of April, 1806. This is prima facfieerSSof a good title, and puts on the respondents the bur. en of proof that the patent Is void or worthless. I need not repeat my remarks in the case of tiood-y.T7tVmyl2',ihV- !; "nt now adopt them as affording a rule ol decision which an piiea clearly to the present esse. 1 At the hifringemcnt of the patent it admitted, the only question will bo ns to tho voUdity ol coin, plalnante iiatcnt of April 25,185,. 'It was after specnlatton bad been reduced to practice," aud alter repeated experiments, that the complainant succeeded iu overcoming -he prejudice and fmorauco of the people on tho subject, and persuading the public that his invention wa useful after he liad established its groat utility and value and "when his genius aud patient perxevemnco, in spite of sneers and aeons," were completely sue ctufhl, that Heed, who hadbeloru nude experi ments on the fsaiuo stil.iuct, and was luiaaccessful, imagined that he had the best riaht to the invention . and after purchasing one or more complainant's lor ue.loei. lie applied on the 1st of November, Mitt, ir a patent for substantially the same combing Mom or devices and machiuo contained in complain ant's latent. On the 16th of tho same month the respondents formed themselves into a company or corporation called "The Keod Torpedo Company." for the purpose of pirntlno tho complainant's In Tontion, aud supporting the e:iponse of litieatlon. nd thus defraud him of the fruits. They have ncr covered, even after the preliminary injunction vorv properly granted by the District JudKo. 1 . . i , """n" orcumpiaiunnt ror a per petual Injunction, and a Master appointed to Like an account according to the prayer of the bill H. V. QUIE&, Judge. Notb. The passage referred to bv .Into Grier in his former decfa'on, 8 Wallace, p. 299, adopted as applicable to this case was as follows: "It is usually tho case, when any valunblo dlscov. pry la node, or any new machine of went utility is. Invented, that the.attentlon of the public has bei'n , turned to that subject previously, and that nianv . persons have been making researches raid cxpcrl s meats. Philosopbers and mechanicians mav have m soma rnre anticipated in their speculations the possibility or probability of sueh discovery or Invention; numy cxfierlmeuts havo been successful ly li led, coining very near, yet fulling short ol the desired result. Tliey liave produced nothing liunc flcial. Tho lnvenllou when perfected may truly be wtfd to be the culminating point or nianv oxperi menis, not only by the inventor, hut by many oth ers, lie may have profited Indirectly by the iinsuc- iraniui uapuriiiieius una luminal U Other, but it gives them no right toelaliu a share of the he nor of wo pmui ui uie buccosiui inventor It is when speculation has been reduced to praclico, when ex periment has resulted iu dia-iovcry. and when that discovery has been pcrfectid by iatlciit una contin ued experiments, when somu new compound, art, ' manufacture, or machine lias 1kh thus produced which is useful to thepuhlicthat Uie party nukkiuglt feeeomus a public beueracUir and en titled to a i intent. "And vet when genius and pat b ut tiursoveKincc- , BRveut length succeeded, In spile of sneers aud feoffs, some valuable invention or dlsco-ery, hmv ecldom is it followed by reward I Envy rubs him of the honor, while speculators, swindlers, uni pi rates rob him of the profits. .Every unsuccessful experimenter who did or did or did not come very near making a discovery now claims It. Kveiy ou who can Invent au Improvement or vary its form claims a right to pirate tho original discovery. Wo need not summons Morse, or ltlanchard, or Wood worth to prove that tills is the usual history of cvu ry great, discovery or invention. - "The present case aads another chapter to this long aud uniform history."
