Barry v. Harpoon Castor Mfg. Co.
District Court, S.D. New York
In Equity. Suit by Charles D. Barry and others against the Harpoon Castor Manufacturing Company for infringement of letters patent No. 995,758, for a furniture tip, issued to Henry M. Alleyn June 20, 1911. On final hearing.
1Opinion of the Court
MAYER, District Judge.
Complainants’ articles are the furniture slides or castors known as “Domes of Silence” ’(sometimes called “Invisible Castors”). They have become very popular and successful commercially, as have the “Harpoon” castors of the defendant. If the patent is valid, defendant’s devices clearly infringe, and it is refreshing that in this case the defendant does not seek to differentiate, by attentuated distinction, its article from that of complainant, nor to -cite a multitude of prior art references, when upon the important and controlling references the case must stand or fall.
