President Alvan Macauley of Packard remarked: "We measured what we had against what the other fellows had and thought it [free-licensing] not worth while." Packard has collected some $4,000,000 in patent royalties in 30 years, paid...
...basic worth of the 102-year-old U. S. patent concept-giving an inventor, who may have struggled for years, a 17-year monopoly on his idea.
