' Judge Hough In his de? ns cognised plainly the peculiar charm ter of the litigation and the ?quencos that flow from it. He after discussing the particular is of the litigants: ?"No litigation cloaely resembling cases has been shown to the and no Instance Is known to of an Idea being buried In the it office until the world caught In It and passed it, and then em In a patent only useful for tie. But patents are granted for ivtmion*. The Invntor may use his BSBovery or he may not, but no one Ian can use it for 17 years.
