My French is very rusty, but V-C appears to have had a lot of makers copying their 4-point lock-up action and successfully filed suit in 1914 to enforce their patent. It is interesting that 6 pages of their catalog address in various ways their patent and the repeated attempts of others to copy their lockup.

Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.
