United States Court of Appeals District of Columbia.
Argued April 10, 1947.
Decided Sept. 30, 1947.
Mr. Lester B. Clark, of Houston, Tex., with whom Mr. Emmett Leo Sheehan, of Washington, D. C., was on the brief, for appellant.
Mr. Edwin L. Reynolds, United States Patent Office, of Washington, D. C., with whom Messrs. W. W. Cochran, Solicitor, United States Patent Office, and Howard S. Miller, both of Washington, D. G, were on the brief, for appellee.
Before GRONER, Chief Justice, and EDGERTON and PRETTYMAN, Associate Justices.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
This is a suit to obtain a patent. R.S. § 4915, 35 U.S.C.A. § 63. The Patent Office found that the claims lacked invention. The finding was a reasonable one. The District Court was therefore right in dismissing the bill. Abbott v. Coe, 71 App.D. C. 195, 109 F.2d 449.
Affirmed.
