De Forest challenges Marconi patent originality in court
In a U S Circuit Court reply the De Forest Wireless Telegraph Company contends Marconi was not the true inventor and that the Marconi device overlaps with earlier American and British patents. It cites Loomis 1872 and several 1872 to 1900 patents, plus preexisting journal descriptions. The suit centers on a reissued 1887 Marconi patent and claims the invention had long been known, questioning the patent’s novelty and inventiveness. Fish Richardson Herrick Neave and counsel Wetmore Bliss represent the defense.
