Abstract: This text is part of a general study of U.S. patents wars in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century in three emerging industries: the motion picture industry (Edison patents), the automotive industry (Selden patent), the aviation industry (Wright brothers' patents). The comparative analysis is between the United States and France, where, at the same time, there is no legal dispute of equal importance. This first part looks more specifically the differences between the two systems of intellectual property rights that are "brevets d'invention" and patents. These differences explain the existence of patents wars in the United States and the absence of the same phenomenon France.
