NO RIGHT OF MONOPOLY
IN DENTAL INLAY WORK
Appellate Court ReverSeS De-
CiSion Which Sustained Pat
entee in Local Suit.

Dentists throughout the United States
will be interested in a decision rendered
today by the Court of Appeals of the
District of Columbia. In an opinion by
Mr. Justice Robb, the court holds there
f. no monopoly on dental inlay work.
under the patent granted December 3,
1907 TO DIR. William Fl. Taggart of Chi
cago.
The decision of the District Supreme
Court. which sustained the patent rights
of DIR. Taggart and granted an injunc-
ton against George W. Boynton. a local
dentist. for alleged infringement. was re-
versed by the appellate court, and the
case remanded with directions to dismiss
the bill of the patentee. The case was
considered a test one.
Basis of Defense.
The defense rested its claim on the
contention that individual dentists and
teachers Of dentistry had used and taught
the method of inlay in the filling Of
teeth for two years or more before DR..
Taggart applied for his patent.
Justice Robt in his decision, says:
The real question which We are called
upon to determine from the evidence be-
fore US is whether the various dentists
who have testified. or any OF them, were
in possession more than two years prior
to the date of the original application for
this patent of the idea attempted to be
covered and whether they, or any OF
them. gave expression of that idea in a
practical and public way.
1T is Of no possible consequence that
by the use of DR.. Taggart's machine
gold inlays and the like may be produced
more cheaply and rapidly than they were
produced by dentists who have testified.
1T is enough If those dentists took a.
wax impression IN the manner described
by these claims and formed a mold
around the pattern thus obtained for the
purpose Of casting a dental inlay or the
like. To hold that this was not done
would be arbitrarily to disregard and set
at naught the testimony of witnesses
whose character and reputation are un-
impeached and whose testimony is rea-
sonable and in entire harmony with the
circumstances of this case. We are un-
willing TO assume such nosifinn
