On May 12, 1953, the United States Patent Office issued a patent to the plaintiff Gilbert Shaw for his invention of an “Artificial Filament.” The term of the patent is for seventeen years from the date of issue.
Shortly after the issuance of the patent, the plaintiff Shaw granted to the plaintiff Polymers, Inc., an exclusive license under the patent to manufacture filaments in excess of 5 mils cross-sectional dimension. They join in this action of contract which is founded on a subsequent license agreement between Shaw and the defendant. See Shaw and Polymers, Inc. v. E. I. DuPont De Nemours…
