Roy Y. Sanders, Jr. v. David L. Ladd, Commissioner of Patents

294 F.2d 231, 111 U.S. App. D.C. 35, 130 U.S.P.Q. (BNA) 48, 1961 U.S. App. LEXIS 4058

Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit·Decided June 29, 1961·No. 16225·Published

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

This is a patent case, under 35 U.S.C. § 145. Plaintiff-appellant’s application, Serial No. 333,147, covered a marked pharmaceutical tablet and the process of marking such a tablet. Though the plaintiff seems to have met a business need, and his process has achieved financial success, we are not convinced that the Patent Office and the District Court were wrong in holding that the application did not disclose patentable invention over the prior art. See Schafer v. Watson, 1961, 109 U.S.App.D.C. 360, 288 F.2d 144.

Affirmed.
