* November 30 – John Selden, English jurist ( b. 1584 )

The principal holding of Baker v. Selden is codified in § 102 ( b ) of the Copyright Act of 1976.

Yet the huge amount of money consumed by the Selden litigation, which many regarded as wasteful, indirectly contributed to constructive changes in legal procedure.

The duration and other circumstances of the Selden case made it a flagrant example of the gross abuses of patent infringement actions.

The fundamental difficulty of which the Selden case was `` a striking ( though not singular ) example '', concluded Hough, `` will remain as long as testimony is taken without any authoritative judicial officer present, and responsible for the maintenance of discipline, and the reception or exclusion of testimony ''.

Not least among the members of the patent bar who echoed this powerful indictment were those who had participated in the Selden suit.

Inventors joined lawyers in the clamor for reform, inevitably centering upon the Selden litigation as a `` horrible example ''.

But he felt that the Selden case was being unfairly pilloried.

The vast industrial interests caught up in the Selden suit, as well as the complex character of the automotive art, encouraged both sides to exploit `` every possible chance '' for or against the patent, said Parker.

`` I am satisfied that in the Selden case had this power existed and this course ( been ) pursued, it would have shortened the depositions of some of the experts nearly one-half and of some of the other witnesses thereto more than that ''.

In the end Hough's acidulous protest, which Parker called the `` now somewhat famous note on this ' Selden ' case '', did not go unheeded.

One of the A.L.A.M. lawyers observed that if the Selden case had been tried under this simplified procedure, the testimony which filled more than a score of volumes, `` at a minimum cost of $1 a page for publication alone, could have been contained in one volume ''.

There is little doubt that they were promulgated by the Supreme Court as a direct result of the Selden patent suit.

Nevertheless, it is from the Selden organization that the industry inherited its institutional machinery for furthering the broader interests of the trade.

Its origin lies in the Selden patent controversy and its aftermath.

The breach created by the Selden patent doomed his proposal, but Hanch did not abandon his scheme.

He and his commander, John Selden Roane, had several differences of opinion.

In 1973, he produced an animated version of the George Selden book The Cricket in Times Square, and would go on to produce two sequels.

John Selden in his esteemed work Titles of Honour writes, " The word Baro ( Latin for Baron ) hath been also so much communicated, that not only all Lords of Mannors have been from antient time, and are at this day called sometimes Barons ( as in the stile of their Court Barons, which is Curia Baronis, & c. And I have read hors de son Barony in a barr to an Avowry for hors de son fee ) But also the Judges of the Exchequer have it from antient time fixed on them.

Selden immediately moved that the commons produce " The Common Remonstrance against the Duke ", which demanded his removal from office.

Even John Selden seems to have acknowledged him, and probably the chief difference between him and the mass of the community at the time was that, while others believed in the general truth of astrology, he ventured to specify the future events to which he referred.

Selden, however, in referring to similar stories " that no Charter can make a Gentleman, which is cited as out of the mouth of some great Princes that have said it ," adds that " they without question understood Gentleman for Generosus in the antient sense, or as if it came from Genii / is in that sense, as Gentilis denotes one of a noble Family, or indeed for a Gentleman by birth.

At last, in 1613, the first part of this vast work was published under the title of Poly-Olbion, eighteen books being produced, to which the learned Selden supplied notes.

" These included Ben Jonson, Selden, Waller, Hales, and especially Lord Falkland ; and from their influence and the wide reading in which he indulged, he doubtless drew the solid learning and literary talent which afterwards distinguished him.

His coterie of followers, which included literary figures like Ben Jonson and John Selden, are forced to seek other patrons.

John Selden Roane was born in Lebanon in Wilson County, Tennessee, and was educated at Cumberland College which at the time was located in Princeton, Kentucky.

Inspired by the mammoth internal combustion engine invented by George Brayton displayed at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in 1876, Selden began working on a smaller lighter version, succeeding by 1878, some eight years before the public introduction of the Benz Patent Motorwagen in Europe, in producing a one-cylinder, 400-pound version which featured an enclosed crankshaft with the help of Rochester machinist Frank H. Clement and his assistant William Gomm.

Posting a bond of US $ 350, 000, Ford appealed, and on January 10, 1911 won his case based on an argument that the engine used in automobiles was not based on George Brayton's engine, the Brayton engine which Selden had improved, but on the Otto engine.
