1Opinion of the Court
SANBORN, Circuit Judge.
This is an appeal from a judgment dismissing the complaint of the plaintiffs (appellants) in an action for patent infringement. The patent in suit, United States Patent No. 2,781,278, for a “Method of Printing Carbon Transfer Ink in a Spaced Design on Paper,” was issued February 12, 1957, to Bernard Harmon upon an application filed August 13, 1952, and was thereafter assigned by him to Rota-Carb Corporation. The District Court determined that the patent was void for want of invention and was therefore incapable of being infringed by the defendant (appellee).
