Borland v. Northern Trust Safe Deposit Co.
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit · Decided July 8, 1915 · Baker, Carpenter, Kohl, Saat
228 F. 1019; 142 C.C.A. 665; 1915 U.S. App. LEXIS 2077

Borland v. Northern Trust Safe Deposit Co.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal from a decree adjudging that appellant’s patent, No. 940,300, November 16, 1900, for a safety deposit box lock, was not infringed by the locks used by appellee. In our judgment the two locks, as fully described and explained in Judge Sanborn’s opinion in 212 Fed. 178, differ so radically in their structural laws that the case was properly disposed of by the finding of noninfringement. The decree is affirmed.
