In the Case Over Those
Struggled Drugs.
POWER OF THE US COURT
TO Prevent Their Transportation
Out of the Country.
RESTRAINING ORDER AMENDED.

Another chapter In the now celebrated
phenacstine case was enacted in the
United States court this morning before
Judge Brown.
The case now seems destined to become
long drawn out affair. In some of it's as
poets it has no precedent and Judge
Brown is determined to look into every
side of the question before he makes any
decision. The cases becomes important
because it involves questions that are
new to the court.
Last week the controllers OF the patent
for this drug in the United states issued
preliminary injunction against the pur-
cnsssrs of the large amount at the re-
cent auction sale.
Today the attorney for the movers Of
the injunction was prepared to call for .
permanent restraining order But the
court suggested that iJ might be quite
legal for the defendant TO take The drug
to Canada and there sell it outsioe Of the
patents jurisdiction ana so could not give
an injunction until iris question was de.
cided.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1897-12-27

Warren r. Perce, attorney for the de-
fendant. stated that the granting OF pat
ent in this country bestowed three mono
poles. TO make, TO sell, and to use the ar
ticle within the United States.
No infrinRemept in making Is or can be
claimed, for these goods were made out
siae OF the country, nor In selling. for
they have not been sold. nor In using, for
they have not been used.
There is no doubt that IL either OF these
things were done here there woula De an
Infringement and violation OF the PROS
snt injunction that would make the de-
PENDANTS liable to the court. But objec-
tion Is made 10 any unusual restraint such
as TRANSPORTATION out Of the country. The
court could, within its power. forbid
transportation in the UDitsd states, but
not from the United States to Canada.
Ii was anu is now possible Tor the de-
fendant to take these goods with him to
Canada and there sell them. It 10 a new
question and fair chance should be
given for studying and investigating the
question.
Judge Brown said that 10 seemed to b
a simple question of using as no Infringe
ment had been made on the other two
points If there had been on this one n
permanent restraining order might be
given, but now he could not yet see how
that point had been infrineed.
