Driven Wells Petition Urges Caution Over Patent Reissue
The Driven Wells issue a notice to owners of driven wells about petitions for rehearing, claiming circulated anxieties over a US Supreme Court decision on Green's patent reissue. The Rural New Yorker report says the court affirmed the Circuit Court ruling in favor of the patent’s validity, with the decision handed down on the prior Monday, despite a split court. Green asserts agents claim royalty rights, urging attendees to seek reliable information at a town hall meeting and beware of sensational circulars from Wellman & Miner and others in the county.
