Roy Y. Sanders, Jr. v. David L. Ladd, Commissioner of Patents
U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit
Roy Y. Sanders, Jr. v. David L. Ladd, Commissioner of Patents, 294 F.2d 231 (D.C. Cir. 1961)
111 U.S. App. D.C. 35; 130 U.S.P.Q. (BNA) 48; 1961 U.S. App. LEXIS 4058
Roy Y. Sanders, Jr. v. David L. Ladd, Commissioner of Patents
Opinion
This is a patent case, under 35 U.S.C. § 145. Plaintiff-appellant’s application, Serial No. 333,147, covered a marked pharmaceutical tablet and the process of marking such a tablet. Though the plaintiff seems to have met a business need, and his process has achieved financial success, we are not convinced that the Patent Office and the District Court were wrong in holding that the application did not disclose patentable invention over the prior art. See Schafer v. Watson, 1961, 109 U.S.App.D.C. 360, 288 F.2d 144.
Affirmed.
