Tesla vs. Marconi Company

The answer of the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company to the suit of the Nikola Tesla Company for an alleged infringement of its patents, was filed recently in the Federal District Court. The Marconi Company denied that Mr. Tesla was at any time the original or first inventor of the alleged new and useful method of signaling set forth in the complaint. The answer also denied that the patents issued on March 17 and April 14, 1903, were duly or lawfully granted to Mr. Tesla, because he had not complied in all respects with the conditions and requirements of the patent laws. The defendant company asks that the complaint be dismissed.
