Vintage Machinery entry for E. C. Atkins & Co.
Description:
This patent was the subject of a lawsuit by E. C. Atkins & Co. against the inventor and Amos S. Parke (see also patent 390,164). Briefly, Amos, as Sarah's attorney, signed a contract with the plaintiff giving them an exclusive license to manufacture and sell this saw swage everywhere in the country except California, Oregon and Washington. However, beginning January 29, 1889, Amos Parkes manufactured and sold swaging machines based on the pateent. The Parkes claimed that the plaintiff had failed to fill orders for saw swaging machines and had therefore voided the contract so the defendants were no longer bound by the terms of the contract. They argued that E. C. Atkins & Co. was also "interested" in the Hinkley swage (see patent 373,740) and was not acting in good faith in dealing with the Parkes. The original ruling was for the Parkes but this was reversed on appeal; see link.
