JUDGE DENIES
THU INJUNCTION
American Lighting Company
Can Use Lamps
Decision Given Yesterday Afternoon
Does NOt Deal With The Validity
OF ibO Patent

Judge Bradford. I'm the United States
Court yesterday afternoon handed
down decision in the case Of the
Pennsylvania Gas Light Company VS..
the American Lighting Company In
it he denied the application OF a pre-
liminary injunction. The decision fol-
lows:
The bill in this case charges in
fringement letters patent of the United
States, No 3l,745 dated October 81,
1899 granted to Arthur E. Shaw and
Edward S. Sanderson. assignors to the
complainant, for a design for a street
lamp, and prays for an injunction and
damages. The case is now before the
court on motion for a preliminary
injunction. The affidavits on each side
arc numerous. and it is admitted that
there has been no adjudication Of the
validity of the patent. On careful con-
sideration of all the affidavits and ex-
hibits produced. and in view OF the
course and practice of the courts in
this and other circuits on applications
for preliminary injunctions in patent
causes. am satisfied that it would be
premature and improper at this stage
of the case to express any opinion
hpon it's merits. and that the same
should be determined only after plen-
any proofs shall have been adduced.
The application for a preliminary in
junction must, therefore, be denied, the
costs TO abide the event of the cause.
The American Lighting Company
can now place its lights in position
and use them until there is a final de-
cision in the case.
After an examiner has been ap-
pointed and testimony taken as to the
validity Of the patent the judge will
CONSIDER the testimony in the case and
give decision.
