Jones v. Field

BENEDICT, District Judge.

This is a motion for an injunction to restrain the defendants from making a certain form of self-lubricating vehicle axles, which, it is claimed, infringes upon a patent owned by the plaintiff. The patent relied on was first issued to the plaintiff on March 10th, 1874 [No. 148,-368]. It was re-issued November 10th, 1874. No. 6,129. The claim in the re-issue is for “a wheel axle, with recesses in the upper part of such axle, substantially in the manner and for the purposes set forth.”

Neither the construction nor the validity of the re-issue has ever been adjudicated.…
