Nikola Tesla U.S. Patent 1,119,732 - Apparatus for Transmitting Electrical Energy Patent Wrapper Page 46

742 is not true in applcant's invention. The Oudin resonator is an improvement of the applicant, and has been described by him long before the publication referred to by the Examiner. See applicant's paper before the American Electro Therapeutic Society in 1898. As for the objection to certain claims on the ground that they are functional, it must be remembered that the invention is broad, and that broad language in claiming the same therefore seems to be fully justified.
