Frederick Fish patent attorney (Wright Brothers, Alexander Graham Bell)

Pre-lecture anecdote. Tom did a battery case for Fish & Neave in New York, whose logo features the Wright brothers' glider. Used as conversational opener.

The Fish name is just all over New York and Boston, because I think it's the same Fish. He was a great patent attorney in the 1880s and 1900s. He did the Wright brothers patent and I think he did the Alexander Graham Bell patent. He had a couple of winners there. Apparently he was a very good attorney, and his name shows up on a lot of different law firms in New York and Boston. I did a big case on batteries once for a company in New York called Fish & Neave, and their logo shows the Wright brothers' glider — they're kind of pointing out, we did the intellectual property for the Wright brothers.
