Scope and Contents:
The Curtiss-Wright Corporation was involved in numerous legal disputes with other major aircraft companies over patent rights. The majority of the series consists of materials dated between 1929 and 1934 placed in files by Curtiss-Wright during the pursuit of patent litigation. File contents include copies of the proceedings, correspondence and memoranda, aircraft drawings and blueprints, advertising brochures, and copies of related patents. The series also contains copies of patents that were not associated with a case file, but might have been used for research. Materials are arranged by a file number created by Curtiss-Wright, followed by unfiled materials ordered by date. Materials were originally stored in accordion folders, with additional manila folders inside. The front page of the accordion folder, which contained the case name, case number, and a list of the patents involved, was placed in the first folder of each file number.
