About Infringing a Patent.

DIES MONIES. Jan. Wv. Il. NJ asks:
''If person should use ratchet in an
improved window shade roller, similar
to Hartshorn's, would it be an in
fringement? Is not the principle of
such a rachel too common to patent7'
Without searching the records to see
Hartshorn's claims, will endeavor to
answer your question and make the
matter plain To You. Suppose Harts-
horns claim is for the combination of
a ratchet, a pawl or detent, a spring
and a roller for operating a curtain,
all the parts may be common but the
combination thereof new and patent
able. To improve any one part or
element in that combination, or to add
another part thereto to gam new or
improved result thereby would be
patentable but not clear of the prior
broad combination claim and an in
fringement if used without license.
But if one of the four parts of the
original combination claim is left out
then the combination is broken and it
would not be an infringement of the
claim that had four parts in it. To
give definite opinion in any one case
all the facts must be known; in other
words, the matter supposed to be an
infringement must be considered in
the light of the patent or patents that
are supposed To be infringed.

ated by United States Court.
The United States circuit court for
the southern district of New York,
Judge Townsend presiding. handed
down an opinion December %, 1897,
granting injunction and accounting, in
the suit of The Hostetter Company
against Isaac Sommers and Louis Jo-
seph, for infringement of its trade
mark. The jurist states, in bold and
clear language, the rights accruing to
the Hostetter Company, and the liabil-
ity incurred by all who would rob
them, by fraud or Misrepresentation
of the well-earned reputation and
profits Of business built up by the
efforts of half century. The JUICE
says, in part:
1.-THE complainant Is entitled to pro-
lection against the appropriation of its
trade mark, by any and all unfair and
dishonorable means, and a court of
equity has power to grant such protec-
ton whenever it is satisfied that an
attempt has been made by ingenious
subterfuges, to invade the rights of an
owner Of trade mark. In
the sharp contest between the individ-
ual manufacturer, who strives to ac-
qure and retain the fruits of indus
try and honesty, and the field Of keen
rivals, seeking to wrest from him the
prize of the public goodwill, the in
ventive ingenuity of the infringer has
conceived great variety Of devices
for evading the established rules of
fair dealing. Courts of equity
finding that their ultimate object and
effect were to enable and induce the
retail seller of fraudulent imitation
to palm it off on an unsuspecting pub
lie for the genuine article, and thus
to contribute to the infringement upon
the rights of the original owner, have
not hesitated to apply the remedy"
