American Electrical Novelty Co. v. Newgold

U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Southern New York

Decided January 13, 1900PublishedCited by 4 opinions

This is a suit in equity for infringement of a patent. On motion for preliminary injunction.

1Opinion of the Court

IACOMBE, Circuit Judge.

The decision of Judge Wheeler (98 Fed. 895), being rendered in a case where there was no opposition, is not such an adjudication as will entitle complainant to a preliminary injunction in another suit, where there is no proof of long-continued public acquiescence, and where the validity of the patents, if construed broadly enough to cover defendant’s device, is vigorously contested. Motion denied.
