The Telephone Cases, 126 U.S. 1 (1888), were a series of US court cases in the 1870s and the 1880s related to the invention of the telephone, which culminated in the 1888 decision of the US Supreme Court upholding the priority of the patents belonging to Alexander Graham Bell. Those telephone patents were relied on by the American Bell Telephone Company and the Bell System although they had also acquired critical microphone patents from Emile Berliner. In the case, the Supreme Court affirmed: The Supreme Court reversed American Bell Tel Co. v. Molecular Tel. Co., 32 F. 214.

  • The Telephone Cases, 126 U.S. 1 (1888), were a series of US court cases in the 1870s and the 1880s related to the invention of the telephone, which culminated in the 1888 decision of the US Supreme Court upholding the priority of the patents belonging to Alexander Graham Bell. Those telephone patents were relied on by the American Bell Telephone Company and the Bell System although they had also acquired critical microphone patents from Emile Berliner. The objector (or plaintiff) in the notable Supreme Court case was initially the Western Union telegraph company, which was then a far-larger and better financed competitor than American Bell Telephone. Western Union advocated several more recent patent claims of Daniel Drawbaugh, Elisha Gray, Antonio Meucci and Philip Reis in a bid to invalidate Alexander Graham Bell's master and subsidiary telephone patents dating back to March 1876. Western Union's success would have immediately destroyed the Bell Telephone Company, and Western Union could have become the world's largest telecommunications monopoly in Bell's place. The US Supreme Court came within one vote of overturning the Bell patent because of the eloquence of lawyer Lysander Hill for the Peoples Telephone Company. In a lower court, the Peoples Telephone Company stock rose briefly during the early proceedings but dropped after its claimant, Daniel Drawbaugh, took the stand and testified: "I don't remember how I came to it. I had been experimenting in that direction. I don't remember of getting at it by accident either. I don't remember of anyone talking to me of it." In the case, the Supreme Court affirmed: * Dolbear v. American Bell Tel. Co., 15 F. 448, 17 F. 604, * Molecular Tel. Co. v. American Bell Tel. Co., 32 F. 214, and * People's Tel. Co. v. American Bell Tel. Co., 22 F. 309 and 25 F. 725. The Supreme Court reversed American Bell Tel Co. v. Molecular Tel. Co., 32 F. 214. Bell's second fundamental patent expired on January 30, 1894, when the gates were then opened to independent telephone companies to compete with the Bell System. In all, the American Bell Telephone Company and its successor, AT&T, litigated 587 court challenges to its patents, including five that went to the US Supreme Court and, aside from two minor contract lawsuits, never lost a single case that was concluded with a final stage judgment.

  • 电话案(英語:The Telephone Cases;126 U.S. 1 (1888))是指1870年代到1880年代在美国与相关的一系列案件;这些案件最终由美国最高法院于1888年作出终审裁决,该裁决维持亚历山大·格拉汉姆·贝尔对电话专利的优先权。这些电话专利是美国贝尔电话公司与贝尔系统所赖以生存的,尽管它们也已经从爱米尔·贝利纳那获得了关键的麦克风专利。 这起著名诉讼案的发起人(原告)为西联电报公司,这是一家比贝尔电话公司规模更大且现金更充裕的公司。西联电报公司提出了、、和约翰·菲利普·雷斯等人的几项专利权利要求,以使得亚历山大·格拉汉姆·贝尔可追溯到1876年3月的有关电话的主专利权和附属专利权失效。如果西联取得胜利,那么这将立即摧毁贝尔电话公司,从而让西联取代贝尔在电话领域的垄断地位。 得益于律师莱桑德·希尔(Lysander Hill)的雄辩,美国最高法院以一票之差裁定人民电话公司(Peoples Telephone Company)诉美国贝尔电话公司案中,贝尔的专利权无效。在一家下级法院中,人民电话公司的股票曾在早期的诉讼中短暂上涨;但在原告出庭表明立场并作证后出现下跌。在法庭上,德拉博说道:“我不记得我是如何做到的。我一直在朝这方面努力。我也不记得我是不是偶然发明它的。我不记得我有人和人谈论过这个。” (zh)
