TRADE TURMOIL

EFFECT OF HIGHER ROYALTIES

The wireless trade was in a tur- moil recently following the deci- sion of Mr. Justice Luxmoore allow ing the appeal of the Marconit Com- pany from the decision of the Comptroller-General of the Patents Office, reducing the royalties pay- able by manufacturers to the Mar- coni Company.

Board meetings of all wireless manufacturers were hurriedly sum- moned. It was learnt that the majority of firms would have to put up their prices considerably, pos- sibly by more than £3 on a five- valve set, soba

Among the smaller firms there is, perturbation, for the result of the case gives the Marconi Company the right to call on money owing

lower rate.

So serious is the situation that a meeting of the Radio Manufac

turers Association was also called,"

but no decision was reached.
