Edison on patents and trusts stifling progress in telephony
The Sun discusses patent protection, Bell dominance, and the impact of trusts on innovation. It cites Edison’s view that patents offer limited protection to great inventors, notes Bell Telephone’s preemption of the field, and warns of high rates and poor transmitter quality due to lack of competition. The piece also profiles a chemist facing a combine that stifles market entry and mourns Mrs. Cof fin’s civic charity in Indianapolis, praising her quiet, constant service. It ends with a correction about a Sun interview and a bank location clarification for Pietcher’s saloon.
