court, one of the most important patent
opinions yet delivered. The case involved
the validity Of a patent granted years ago,

that, through inadvertence the secretary
OF the interior failed to attach his signature
In all other respects the patent was in due
form Of law. About two years subsequent,
the notwithstanding of the interior
signed the patent. During these two years
Nichols used the patented device. The
owners claimed infringement The supreme
court holds that the patent was not valid
till signed by the notwithstanding of the
interior and consequently could not have
been infringed until signed
