Opinions

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.
