Illinois Steel Co. v. Kilmer Manuf'g Co.
U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Southern New York
This was a suit in equity by the Illinois Steel Company against the Kilmer Manufacturing Company and others for alleged infringement of certain patents relating to rolling mills.
1Opinion of the Court
TOWNSEND, District Judge.
This is a final hearing on a bill alleging infringement of patents No. 289,524, dated December 4, 1883, and No. 319,694, dated June 9, 1885, granted to W. Garrett, assignor to complainant, for improvements in rolling-mill plants. The object of the invention of the first patent “is to produce an improved plant for working blooms and billets and reducing them to wires or rods at a single heat, and reeling them as delivered from the rolls.” The paténtee admits that what he proposed to do had been previously done, but “not with practical and commercial success.”
