2,248,117	F-06/10/1940 I-07/08/1941	John Petry	Electric Ornamental Lighted Device	The patent for Paramount Stars, this product by Raylite uses the same back parts as their saucer style oil and methylene chloride bubbling lights.
2,278,383	F-02/08/1937 I-03/31/1942	Philip Rosenblatt	Display Device	While not really a patent for a Christmas item, this device works on the same principle as a bubble light, and pre-dates patents for them by at least two years. The inventor suggested uses such as bubbling signs and store front displays. It is this patent that was the undoing of Carl Otis' bubble light patent.
2,284,788	F-12/16/1937 I-06/02/1942	Abraham Wolf	Electric Light socket	An ingenious invention that allows the consumer to attach light sockets anywhere upon a suitable electrical cord, thus allowing freedom in light placement on the Christmas tree. The sockets were first offered by a company named Iron Firemen, but the patent rights were later purchased by NOMA, who sold the socket and wire outfits under the name "On-A-Lite".

Otis	Ornamental Illuminating Device	This is Carl Otis' second patent for the bubble lights, consisting of improvements and refinements to his previous efforts.
