PATENTS AND INVENTIONS, § 23 — when oral representations do not add to warranties of written contract. Where plaintiff brought suit for royalties due from defendant under terms of written agreement by which defendant was granted license by plaintiff to manufacture patented venetian blind device, and defendant's answer averred that plaintiff orally represented and warranted that device was merchantable product, although it did not function properly, and record showed that defendant did produce and sell commercial product, held that oral representations of plaintiff made prior to or at time of making written contract could not add to warranties contained therein.
