Convict 1 Acquit 1 Jury Urges Leniency
A jury verdict found one defendant guilty and acquitted another while recommending leniency for the convicted lawyer in a high stakes patent case. The unsuccessful defendant vows an appeal for a new trial and a $10,000 bond is set. An inventor's attorney says the decision aids his civil rights fight. The case centers on tungsten filament patents and prior claims in the early 1900s. The matter involves Heany and Everding with implications for patent office credibility and future tungsten filament litigation.
