Opinion
The bill must be dismissed. If the patent is valid, the history of the art before us shows that its scope must be confined within limits so narrow as to exclude the respondent’s device. In our judgment, however, the patent is not valid. The alleged invention described seems to be entirely wanting in patentable novelty.
