Tesla Patent Litigation - Westinghouse vs. Stanley

Judge Lacombe, in the United States Circuit Court, New York City, on June 4, denied the application of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company for an injunction to prevent the Stanley Electric Company from manufacturing apparatus claimed to come under certain Tesla patents. The refusal was made on the ground that the Stanley company manufactured the appliances in Pittsfield, Mass., and that, therefore, the matter was not within Judge Lacombe's jurisdiction. The question of the alleged infringement of the patents was not considered. The case was argued last week, the defendants being represented by ex-Speaker T. B. Reed, ex-Patent Commissioner Mitchell, and Mr. W. H. Kenyon.
