The article argues the Iadi ana decision upholding a $3 monthly rent on telephone instruments benefits the Bell company more than a potential ruling against the validity of a Bell patent. It cites Park Benjamin asserting the 1876 Bell patent’s overthrow would not badly hurt Bell and notes the second patent covers a speaking telephone and may render speech transmission commercially practical. The Bell Company claims broad infringement risk on existing receivers and notes its extensive patent holdings.
