Funny you should say that because in fact the Wright Brothers sued everybody for patent infringement. Their legal activities took the USA from the lead in aircraft manufacturing in roughly 1900 to just about dead-last by the advent of WW1 in 1914.

Glenn Curtiss at Curtiss Aircraft was one of the WB’s frequent legal targets. Ironically Curtiss & Wright ended up merging to from Curtiss-Wright Aircraft.
