Bank v. Rauland Corp‪.‬

The complaint charged the defendants with infringement of United States patent No. 1,922,415 to Bank, issued August 15, 1933, on an application filed March 25, 1929. The defendant corporation was charged as a direct infringer, and Rauland, the general manager of that corporation, was charged as an aider, abetter and contributor thereto. The defendants denied infringement, and by counterclaim sought a decree declaring the claims invalid. The District Court found the facts specially and stated its conclusions of law thereon, holding each claim invalid and not infringed.Judgment was rendered accordingly and the complaint was dismissed for want of equity, and from that decree this appeal is prosecuted.
