Patent pools and the Selden patent in automotive history
A 1899 transfer placed rights to the Selden patent with Columbia Motor and Electric Vehicle Co. A 1905 Winton suit established the patent's validity and infringement. Ford fought a related New York case, losing on validity but winning non infringement. Patent pools emerged to resolve interdependent rights and avoid monopolies, with 1935 warnings against cross licensing collapsing monopolies into compulsory licenses and potential price and output distortions.
