Michael H. Juliano v. Hobart Manufacturing Company

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

The plaintiff, having made and sold to the public an attachment for defendant’s machine, sold one to defendant, to which he now seeks to attach a confidential relationship. After the sale to defendant the plaintiff obtained a design patent on his device. Defendant presently manufactures an attachment which admittedly is so different that there is no infringement of plaintiff’s design patent. The district court ordered summary judgment for the defendant. There was no error.

Judgment will be entered affirming the judgment of the District Court.
