Not sure when Pope obtained or started using the patent.

Shortly after Colonel Albert A. Pope entered the bicycle industry with his brand known as the Columbia, he began acquiring patents. He filed multiple lawsuits against rival bicycle makers and producers for infringements, then would agree to drop the suits in exchange for a royalty fee. By the late 1890s nearly every US bicycle manufacturer was paying Pope around $10 per bicycle!

Pope leverage his staggering wealth into the Pope Manufacturing Company and at the height of the bicycle craze, his company was producing about a quarter million bicycles annually.

So, your question, who owned the Double D patented? Charles Dikeman filed for the patent in 1898…but I suspect the Pope Manufacturing Company acquired it.
