Claiming sole rights to this method, and also to the sound-on-film device which employs the slit (Fox Movietone, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, RKO, Paramount), Nakken Corp. has requested an adjudication of patents from the U. S. Patent Office. Last week Warner Brothers-following their policy of pioneering with picture patents-bought 50% of Nakken Corp. stock thus acquiring the use, free from royalty, of all Nakken Patents. If the courts grant Nakken...
