By way of an action for declaratory relief, and as successor in interest to the corporation by which defendant Lockwood was formerly employed, plaintiff sought a decree that it is the equitable owner of a certain invention patented by defendant Lockwood, and therefore entitled to an assignment of title and all rights and interests thereto; in the alternative, plaintiff company asked it be given “shop rights” in the invention, thereby entitling it to manufacture and otherwise use the device or item without obligation of any kind. From a judgment adverse to such claims plaintiff has appealed.
