"FESSENDEN
ONCE WON $406,175"
•
•
When Padria King
authored the article, "Reginald Fessenden Wins
$60-million Suit Against 'Radio Trust,' in 1928 --
for newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst, she
had no idea who the "real" inventor and
patent owner of the Wireless Radio Telephone was,
or whom the "Smart0Daaf
Boys" were. (Click on any Photo above

them.)
•
•
As you will see, the article is critical of
the $2.5-million settlement from the so-called
Radio Trust. The original law suit claimed
$60-million in damages against -- RCA, AT&T,
General Electric, the Westinghouse Electric and
Manufacturing Company, the Western Electric Company
Inc, the International Radio Telegraph Company, the
United Fruit Company and the wireless Specialty
Appliance Company. -

The Radio Trust were all
required to name him as the father of Radio,
knocking his other SMART-DAAF comtempories,
(Stubblefield, Marconi, Tesla, DeForest,
Alexandersen, and Armstrong out of question. The
following article was published in the Boston
Sunday Advertiser and Los Angeles Examiner,
1928.
•
•
NEWTON, Mass, Oct. 13, 1928
(Reprint) --
"The
internationally known inventor, has forced the
so-called Radio Trust to pay him $2,500,000 in
cash, and name him as -- "the father of Modern
Radio." Prof. Reginald Aubrey Fessenden has upset
the serenity of Wall Street.

Start - FESSENDEN
ONCE WON
$406,175
•
•
But triumphing over corporations is nothing
new for Professor Fessenden, for in 1912 he was
awarded $406,175 in the United States District
Court at Boston in a suit against the National
Electric Signalling
Company.
•
•
The award was not only the largest ever
given up to that time in Massachusetts, but was
notable in bringing out the history of the Boston
inventor's pioneer work in wireless telegraph and
telephony.
•
•
This man, pupil of Thomas A. Edison
and for ten years head chemist of the Edison
laboratories, and whom Elihu Thomson pronounced the
"greatest wireless inventor of the age, not
excepting even Marconi," has since 1995 obtained
more patents for inventions in wireless telegraphy
and telephony and television than any other man.
•
•
Because of his inventive genius, Professor
Fessenden is one of the titanic figures of the
scientific world. Aside from his work in the field
of wireless communication, he is recognized as the
one responsible for the electricity-driven
battleship, an iceberg detector, the smoke screen
used a Cambrai, the sound location method for enemy
guns and aircraft.
•
•
In July, 1926, he was pronounced the real
inventor of an electrical depth sounding device in
a decision handed down by Judge James A. Lowell in
the United States District Court at
Boston.
•
•
A suit brought by the Submarine Signal
Corporation against the General Radio Company, in
which the corporation charged infringement on the
Fessenden patent, brought the issuance of this
statement from Judge
Lowell:
•
•
"The apparatus is akin to Bell's discovery
of the telephone. It is quite different from
anything in the prior art.
•
•
"In my opinion all the features of the
plaintiff's claims are present in the defendant's
apparatus.
•
•
A decree was ordered entered for an
injunction against further use of the apparatus by
the defendant, the General Radio
Company.
•
•
In his controversy with the Radio
Corporation of America and other radio concerns,
which resulted in the lifting of Professor
Fessenden to the millionaire class through an
out-of-court settlement, he claimed that he was the
original inventor of the wireless telephone and the
spherescope, a device for the transmission of still
and motion pictures into every home having a
receiving set. The latter invention has never been
offered to the public as a result of
litigation.
'WORKER GOT
$50'
•
•
At the time of his suit he also declared
that the Radio Corporation of America and other
concerns "have required and now require their
employees to assign to them wire and wireless
inventions, and also the patents covering the
same," and that they "have not only refrained from
competition in purchasing or otherwise acquiring
from others patents and applications for patents,
covering wire and wireless discoveries, inventions,
devices and apparatus and rights under such patents
and applications, but also by mutual agreement, in
combination and for the purpose of obtaining the
same at much less than their fair value, at times
have refused and now refuse to negotiate for the
purchase of such patents, applications and patent
rights, and at other times have offered and now
offer therefor much less than their fair
value."
•
•
While Professor Fessenden is loath to
discuss the charges as contained in the suit, which
he now considers settled, he is bitter in his
denunciation of a rule whereby employees are forced
to assign their patents and inventions to
corporations employing them. He
said:
•
•
"Such a practice or ruling or custom
or whatever you wish to call it, is tantamount to
stealing the product of one's brains. A man who
invents or devises something should receive a fair
reward. But the large corporations, the trusts,
apparently think
otherwise."
Part
02 / FESSENDEN'S
LAW
•
•
The suggestion boxes in the
large plants, whereby employees are made to drop
their ideas and notions, should be abolished. Last
year in one of the plants of a great electrical
corporation, much of whose business is devoted to
radio, a young worker dropped into the suggestion
box his idea on a certain technical
matter.
•
•
"That particular suggestion
resulted in a saving to the corporation within the
first six months of the trial of $100,000. Its
savings up to date total
$300.000.
•
•
"And what did the bright young worker get?
He got the large sum of $50 -- yes, yes, he also
got his name mentioned in the house organ as a
wideawake and alert
employee!
•
•
"Such methods and practices can't but prove
ruinous to the inventive genius of the nation. The
trusts have men and things at their mercy. If you
cut off the individual inventor your retard
development. The big corporations of today don't
create their own inventions, nor will they buy
patent rights until forced to do so by the fear of
competition."
•
•
Discussing development and organization, the
Boston engineer said:
•
•
"The law connecting organizations and
development is that no organization engaged in any
specific field of work ever invents any important
development in that field or adopts any important
development in that field until forced to do so by
outside competition.'"
•
•
In support of his "law," Professor Fessenden
points out that the telegraph companies did not
invent the cable, as well as calling attention to
the fact that even after its laying they continued
to build land lines by way of
Alaska.
•
•
"Neither telegraph nor cable invented the
telephone: they turned it down when offered to them
for $250,000. Nor did the telegraph, cable and
telephone companies invent the wireless telegraph.
They turned it down when offered them. And it was
the same with the wireless telephone. They turned
it down when first offered them.
•
•
"And some branches of the United States
Government are not a whit better than "big
business" in their lack of foresight and judgment.
The United States Navy Department did not invent
the wireless compass or the echo continuous
sounding machine. The Navy rejected them when
offered."
•
•
The noted engineer decried the tendency of
"big business" to placing on the pedestal the
individual practice of shunting to the side the
technical man for the "super-salesman," he
said.
•
•
If ever there was a lot of bunk it is the
idea of "big business" in hiring men because of
their personality -- their ability to establish
contacts and with the thing called in landing an
order.
•
•
All very good for the time being , but what
happens if there are no more melons to be sold? The
super-salesman, the chap with the personality does
not provide the thing to be sold -- it is the
inventor, the technical man.
•
•
"While I was victorious in my latest
brush with the radio trust, I never once lost sight
of the fact through my litigation that I would be
helping to make the road easier for the inventors,
including myself, to give to the public the result
of our brain and labor."
•
•
Reginald A. Fessenden vs. General Electrical
Company et al.
•
•
It is agreed that the following entry be
made in the above entitled case: Judgment for the
defendants without costs, it being stipulated,
however, that this judgment is not entered on the
ground of the invalidity of any of the plaintiff's
patents referred to in the declaration or on the
ground that there have been no infringements of
said patents, and further, this judgment shall have
no bearing on the question of validity or
invalidity or of infringement or non-infringement
of said patents.
