Important Fatout Case.

There was argued In the Supreme Court
case involving certain claims In reissue
patent, the decision of which will be Of i'm
portance to parties interested in p:tents. The
case wa: :
The Giant Powder Company Va. The Cali.
fornia Powder Works ct al. Appeal from the
California Circuit. This was u case of alleged
infringement of reissues of q patent Of the
Giant Powder Company FOR modes of using
itro.glyCerine. The question was whether
the reissned patents were for the same inven-
tiOn as the original patent, for, IL Ihcy were
not. the case must fail. The court found
that the original patent WINS for a process
and not for compound, while one OF the
reissues was for two compounds, one Of
nitrO.glycerine and gunpOwder one of nitro.
giyCerinc and gur-cottOn, aud the other for q
compound Of nitro-g ycerine and rocket pow
der, and held that there is no relation between
them us regards their claims Of inventions or
discoveries and that, for this reason, as mat
the Commissioner exceeded his authority in
issuing them. 1t Is here claimed that, rs the
original patent was Tor the use Of guupOwder
! or similar substances When naked with nitro
| glyccrinc or analogous substances, 1t did cover
the compounds elaine in the reissued patents,
| and that the cUurt erred in holding otherwise.
