WOODBURY, Chief Judge.
This is another chapter in what the court below aptly called a “litany of litigation” over Reissue Patent No. 23,843 dated June 29, 1954, of original Patent No. 2,559,990 for “Insulating Tape” issued on July 10, 1951, to Oace and others and by them assigned to Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company, a Delaware corporation of St. Paul, Minnesota. Once ferreted out the determinative issue on these appeals becomes relatively simple. But to drive the quarry out of its burrow we must analyse the patent and review this and other litigation between the parties over it.
