1Per curiam
In this suit, brought for alleged patent infringement, the district court held that the defendant, Toledo Guild Products, Inc., failed to overcome the presumption of validity that attaches to a patent and to “prove its invalidity by the heavy burden cast upon it,” but that the defendant’s accused table construction could not be construed as covered by the claimant’s patent, Hamilton No. 2,306,879; and that Claims 7 and 8 thereof were therefore not infringed. The complaint was dismissed with costs assessed against the plaintiff, now appellant.
