R. Gordon Gould is challenging the laser patent issued to Charles H. Townes and Arthur Schawlow. In a trial before the US Court of Customs and Patent Appeals that began Dec. 8, Gould claimed that he was the first to conceive of the Fabry‐Perot arrangement of plane‐parallel mirrors to produce laser action.
