Public Benefit In Patent Status Of The Telephone
Judge Carpenter in the district of Massachusetts rules against Berlinger battery transmitter patent and opens long distance telephony to public use. Foundational Edison and Bell patents expire by term, magneto transmitters rise, and several related patents near expiration leave the field practically open with only a few lingering protections until 1896. Research notes by W G Carrey mark broad implications for future competition in telephony.
