Patent Suit Over Infringement Between Two Signal Firms
In a United States Circuit Court case heard before Judges Acheson and Brittingham, the Johnson Headline Railroad Signal Company of Rahway New Jersey sues Union Switch and Signal Company over patent infringement of a signaling apparatus by Robert L. Sykes of Enerland. Sykes assigned the invention to Fred Chesswright who obtained US patents. Chesswright later gave D M Leomans power of attorney, and Leomans in 1862 granted Union Switch and Signal exclusive US manufacturing rights at a royalty. Chesswright revoked Leomans power and granted Johnson sole rights to use the invention, prompting Union Switch and Signal to file a cross bill claiming exclusive rights under Yeoman’s power. title questions are argued by G H Christy and Sol Schoyer.
