tribunal added that the Marconi Company had secured a dominant position, gathering in its own hands a large series of patents, covering almost all efficient broad- casting receivers. Not one of the Ave patents at present in question originated from the Marconi Co., three being American, one French, and one German. It was a kind of super monopoly. The Loewe Com- pany was unable to seek alternative terms from competing monopolista. On the contrary, the Marconi Co., for the, great, part, was developing this remarkable field of scientific activity and had expended largely on experimental work and research, but the policy was tending to pre- vent a large output. The royalties on multiple valves would be cal- culated on a basis of 5/ for the Arst unitary, and 2/6 for each additional unit.

Loewe's British factory at Totten- ham is using a German patent.
