In the Matter of the Application of William E. ANDREE.
    (Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia.
    Submitted January 15, 1925,
    Decided February 2, 1925.)
    No. 1716.
    W. E. Andree and J. R. Milburn, both of Cleveland, Ohio, for appellant
    . T. A. Hostetler, of Washington, D. C., for Commissioner of Patents.
    Before MARTIN, Chief Justice, ROBB, Associate Justice, and BARBER, Judge of the United States Court of Customs Appeals.
   ROBB, Associate Justice.

This is 'an appeal from a decision of the Patent Office refusing four of the five claims of the application for patent; which involves alleged improvements in a garment press.' The Examiner and the Examiners in Chief rejected all the claims,, but the Assistant Commissioner allowed claim No. 3, because, in his view, the construction there set forth involved ingenuity beyond mere mechanical skill. An examination of the record, in the light of appellant’s brief and argument, fails to convince us that the Patent Office erred in its decision, which therefore is affirmed. Affirmed.
