FLYING MACHINE PATENTS.
FRENCH COURT’S DIFFICULTY
‘AVIATION TOO NEW A SCIENCE.’
In the suit brought by the Wright Brothers, the American airmen, against several French aeroplane manufacturers, to recover damages for infringements of their patents, the Third Tribune upheld the plaintiffs’ contention in principle,-but declared that it did not wish at- present to render a definite decision, as aviation was too new a science to admit of an arbitrary finding in such a case. The court expresed the opinion that an effort should be made to ascertain whether there existed any aviation discoveries calculated to disprove the priority of the Wrights’ inventions.
