WIRELESS PATENT.
GOVERNMENT AND COMPANY AN AGREEMENT REACHED. WELLINGTON, Saturday. An agreement has been reached in the lengthy negotiations between the Post and Telegraph Department and Amalgamated Wireless (Australia), Ltd., relative to the latter’s claims for recognition of its patent rights over apparatus used in the Government wireless stations and in the broadcasting stations. The Postmaster-General, Hon. W. Nosworthy, stated to-day that the agreement which has been completed provides for payment for use of the company’s patents in broadcasting apparatus on practically the same basis as is made in Australia, that is, at the rate of 3s per listener per annum, the agreement to expire on October 31, 1932. In recognition of this payment, which will be made from the Consolidated Fund, the Government is free to make use of the Amalgamated Wireless Company’s patents for broadcasting wireless programmes. It is not intended that the annual fee (30s per annum) now paid by listeners, should be increased at present.
