HOUGHTON
OOMS, COMMISSIONER OF PATENTS
United States District Court for the District of Columbia (1946)
Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.
This is a suit under R. S. § 4915, 35 U.S. C. § 63, 35 U.S.C.A. § 63, to obtain a patent. The record supports the District Court’s findings that the claims do not distinguish over the prior art except in terms of function, General Electric Co. v. Wabash Appliance Corp., 304 U.S. 364, 58 S.Ct. 899, 82 L.Ed. 1402, Minnesota Mining & Mfg. Co. v. Coe, 72 App.D C. 183, 113 F. 2d 512, and that the claims do not define an invention. The judgment dismissing the complaint is therefore affirmed.
