LUNG OF ERPI "Western Electric's legal position in the field of sound pictures is based not upon a single patent but upon a large group of patents which it controls," said J. L. Lyng, vice-president of Electrical Research Products, in a statement issued yesterday in connection with the decision of Judge Morris in the case of General Talking Pictures and Stanley Co. of America. "The Ries patent is not in any sense a basic patent and Judge Morris did not hold •.hat it was. The effect of the decision of Judge Morris in favor of the Ries patent is simply to place it in line for adjudication by the higher court. In our opinion the Ries patent is invalid and Western Electric apparatus does not infringe upon it but if eventually it should be held that the Ries patent is valid and is infringed, its use is in no wise essential to the successful operation of the Western Electric sound system. "No exhibitor, using Western Electric apparatus need have any anxiety as to the ability and intention nf Electrical Research Products, Inc. fully to protect him in the uninterrupted use of his equipment."
