In the United States Court yesterday the
suji Of J. c. MilIner against j. +. SCHOOL,
field Il CO. for violation OF patent which
give, MiIlner a right in a combination Of
furnaces aud lues for curing tobacco, was
decided against MiIlner. Judge Hughes de-
cd,d that 1.-The general principle is well
settled that the making aud selling OF the
separate materials for patented COM
binsiiOn is not an infringement OF the
ri,hts OF the inventor" and that "in
order to render one who makes and sells
pats Of a patented combination liable for
infringement, the parts manufactured must
be Useless IN any other machine, and they
must be sold and manufactured with the
understanding or intention that the other
remaining parts are TO be supplied by au-
other, and the whole then combined for
use" "lt would be too violent sn inter-
ference with trade and the rights OF mer-
chants and manufacturers 10 contine the
right OF making and selling such articles to
the plsinliff and his agents; and so, II the
ca,e should find a verdict for the plaintiff,
should feel constrained 10 set the verdict
aside"
