Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Appellants sued under R.S. § 4915, 35 U.S.C.A. § 63, to obtain a patent on a system of writing music in which notes are given different colors according to volume of sound. We agree with the District Court and the Patent Office that this system is not patentable for lack of invention over the prior art and also because printed matter is not patentable.

Affirmed.
