Woodman Pebbling-Mach. Co. v. Guild

Opinion of the Court

CLIFFORD, Circuit Justice.

Irrespective of the decision of the supreme court in the case of Stimpson v. Woodman, 10 Wall. [77 U. S.) 120, the court here would be of the opinion that the complainants are entitled to a decree that their patent is valid, and for an account and an injunction; but we are both of the opinion that the case is controlled by the principles of that decision, and that the bill of complaint must be dismissed with costs.
