ground on which the new patent WA
ppl;ed for in 1891 The court held
lhat there was no evidence of corrup-
ION or undue influence exercised over

pany and that there was no evidence
hat the delay in granting the patent
lad been brought about by the com
pany. 1t I'D that wha'eIcr delay
here had been was through. the fault OF
he patent office and by no fault of :he
company.
