Tesla Patent Litigation - Suburban Electric Company of Philadelphia

The Suburban Electric Company of Philadelphia has filed an answer in the United States Circuit Court to the suit brought against it by the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Co. and Tesla Electric Co. for alleged infringement on various patents. The Suburban Co. denies having made infringement as alleged, and claims that the patents of the complainants for electro-magnetic motors are void because the alleged inventions and improvements and all the substantial and material parts thereof were disclosed and well-known in the art long prior to any alleged inventions held by the complainants.
