In 1898, Le Prince appeared as a witness for the defence in a lawsuit brought by Thomas Edison against the American Mutoscope Company. Le Prince testified about the inventions of his late father, Louis Le Prince, rebutting Edison's claim to be the inventor of cinematography, and therefore entitled to royalties for the use of the process.[citation needed]
