Talbot v Laroche : ウィキペディア英語版 | Talbot v Laroche ''Talbot v. Laroche'' (unreported) was an 1854 legal action, pivotal to the history of photography, by which William Fox Talbot sought to assert that Martin Laroche's use of the unpatented, collodion process infringed his calotype patent. ==Background== Fox Talbot had developed the calotype process and patented it in 1841〔Patent No. 8842〕 to run until 1855. By 1852, many in the photographic community felt that Fox Talbot's insistence on the economic rights in his intellectual property were hampering the development of photography in England and had called upon him to relinquish his patent. He had made a concession by allowing a free license to amateur photographers〔''The Times'', 13 August 1852〕 but he still insisted that professionals pay an annual license fee. The situation was exacerbated by Fox Talbot's insistence that Frederick Scott Archer's collodion process was covered by his patent. The collodion process was widely used and there was grievous disquiet among the professional photographic community at the payment of a license to Fox Talbot, rather than Archer, for its use.〔Wood (1975)〕 In 1854, Fox Talbot applied to the Privy Council for an extension of his patent and Laroche was instrumental in fomenting opposition. Laroche was a professional photographer who has been claimed as a collaborator of Archer. He orchestrated the Photographic Society's public opposition to an extension and entered his own formal objection with the Privy Council. As a deliberate ''cassus belli'', he advertised his photographic services in ''The Times'', stating that he used "the new process on paper", the collodion process. Laroche's solicitor was Peter Fry, an amateur photographer who had been active against the original patent.〔 Fox Talbot had won actions against other photographers〔Wood (1971b, 1971c)〕 and sued Laroche for £5,000 damages (£350,000 at 2003 prices) for infringement of his patent.〔
