1Opinion of the Court
BENEDICT, District Judge.
This is an action founded upon the second claim of letters patent No. 171,866, dated January 4, 1876, issued to Reuben Ritter, for an improvement in paper boxes. The patent has expired. The main defense in the case is a defect in title, although the defenses of lack of novelty in invention and noninfringement are set up in the answer. The patent has been several times examined by the courts of the United States, and the question of the validity of the patent has been possed upon by this court. See Box Co. v. Nugent, 41 Fed. Rep. 139; National Folding Box & Paper Co.…
