Opinion
No. 9399.
Argued April 10, 1947.
Decided September 30, 1947.
Appeal from the District Court of the United States for the District of Columbia.
Suit to obtain a patent by Alonzo L. Smith against Casper W. Ooms, Commissioner of Patents. From a judgment of dismissal, the plaintiff appeals.
Judgment affirmed.
Mr. Lester B. Clark, of Houston, Tex., with whom Mr. Emmett Leo Sheehan, of Washington, D.C., was on the brief, for appellant.
Mr. Edwin L. Reynolds, United States Patent Office, of Washington, D.C., with whom Messrs. W.W. Cochran, Solicitor, United States Patent Office, and Howard S. Miller, both of Washington, D.C., were on the brief, for appellee.
Before GRONER, Chief Justice, and EDGERTON and PRETTYMAN, Associate Justices.
This is a suit to obtain a patent. R.S. § 4915, 35 U.S.C.A. § 63. The Patent Office found that the claims lacked invention.
The finding was a reasonable one. The District Court was therefore right in dismissing the bill. Abbott v. Coe, 71 App.D.C. 195, 109 F.2d 449.
Affirmed.
