EASTMAN CO. AGREES
TO PAY BIG INDEMNITY
"Substantial" Amount WillEnd Long "Goodwin
Paten t' Fight.

This agreement, made at a conferenceIn New York, ends a legal battle whichhas been going on since 1902, The AnscoCompany brought suit against the K.ut-ma- n
Kodak Company, alleging the defend-ant had made uso of tho 'Ooodwln pat-
ent," which was controlled by the AnscoCompany by virtue of controlling theCoodwln Film und Camera Company. Theplaintiff w'on In tho Circuit Court andthat court's decision was upheld by theUn'ted HtriteM Circuit Court of Appeals.
