[LB017033], Letter from Samuel Insull to Charles Batchelor, June 1st, 1883
Editor's Notes
You may remember Edison speaking about the necessity of the Italian Patent Office declaring that the patents they issued were for a full term and that the payments made on various patents were simply payments on account and not for the renewal of the Short Term patents.##We have this matter fixed all right in Canada; a law has been passed there declaring that the patents are all issued for a long term and that the payments made do not mean that the patent is extended from the short term to the long term but are simply payments on account [--long] term patents.##The decision in the Austrian Patent office fixes this matter so far as Austria is concerned and all we now require is that the Italian Patent office should render a similar decision. Bailey promised to try and get the matter fixed. I have written today to hurry him up. Can you possibly render any assistance?##If the Italian Patent law was fixed on the decision of the Italian patent office given so as to meet a case I think we should commence suit here against all our opponents immediately.##Edisons impression is that the Danish law also requires fixing in a similar manner but he is not quite sure of this.
