Elmer Tiling Cunningham (September 1, 1889 – June 14, 1965) was an American entrepreneur and businessman, specializing in vacuum tubes and radio manufacturing. He is best known for being the most successful business person to produce counterfeit (AKA bootleg) or unlicensed vacuum tubes (1915-1920). Cunningham was in direct violation by infringing on the Fleming and De Forest vacuum tube patents. Unlike other businesses making unlicensed or bootlegged vacuum tubes, Cunningham was very aggressive in his advertising. Manufacturers of counterfeit vacuum tubes generally ended their activities after a lawsuit has been filed but Cunningham came out ahead after various lawsuits brought against him and his company, the Audio Tron Sales Company. His successes encouraged many others to do the same th

  • Elmer Tiling Cunningham (1 de septiembre de 1889 – 14 de junio de 1965) fue un emprendedor y hombre de negocios estadounidense, especializado en la fabricación de válvulas termoiónicas y la manufactura de radioreceptores. Es uno de los primeros casos perfectamente conocidos de empresarios que se beneficiaron de la fabricación de productos (en su caso, tubos de vacío) falsificados o sin licencia (1915-1920). Cunningham infringió directamente las patentes de Fleming y De Forest, y a diferencia de otros fabricantes que producían tubos de vacío fraudulentos, era muy agresivo en su publicidad. La mayoría de estos fabricantes sin licencia generalmente acabaron sus actividades después de un pleito, pero Cunningham salió adelante después de varias denuncias formuladas en su contra y contra su compañía, la Audio Tron Sales Company. Su éxito judicial animó a muchos otros a seguir sus pasos. (es)
