C. H. BOEHRINGER SOHN, a partnership, Appellant, v. Robert C. WATSON, Commissioner of Patents, Appellee.
No. 14181.
United States Court of Appeals District of Columbia Circuit.
Argued March 5, 1958.
Decided May 1, 1958.
Mr. Jennings Bailey, Jr., Washington, D. C., for appellant. Mr. Hugo Huet-tig, Jr., Washington, D. C., also entered an appearance for appellant.
Mr. Joseph Schimmel, Atty., U. S. Patent Office, with whom Mr. Clarence W. Moore, Sol., U. S. Patent Office, was on the brief, for appellee.
Before Edgerton, Chief Judge, and Bazelon and Burger, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
A patent applicant appeals from a judgment for the Commissioner of Patents in a suit under 35 U.S.C. § 145. The Patent Office tribunals found in terms, and the District Court in substance, that there was no invention. Since these findings do not appear to us to be unreasonable or clearly erroneous, we must affirm the judgment in favor of the Commissioner. "The presumption that the Patent Office is right is reenforced, in the present case, by the presumption that the trial court is right." Abbott v. Coe, 71 App.D.C. 195, 197, 109 F.2d 449, 451.
Affirmed.
