U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Western Pennsylvania, 1844

Lippincott v. Kelly

Lippincott v. Kelly
U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Western Pennsylvania · Decided June 15, 1844
15 F. Cas. 571
Lippincott v. Kelly

Opinion of the Court

THE COURT

were inclined to consider the disclaimer as unreasonably delayed under the ninth section of the act of 1S37, but left that question to the jury. They inclined also to the opinion that the disclaimer as required by the seventh section, should have not only disclaimed what was not claimed as new, but should also have distinctly set forth what part of the invention was still claimed, as it was -manifestly designed to act as a new specification.

Verdict for defendant.
