L. Mcbrine Co. v. Silverman Et Al. Same V‪.‬

These are consolidated appeals from judgments dismissing actions for infringement of claims 4, 8, 10, 11, 12, 19, 23, 24, 26 and 27 of patent No. 1,878,989. Both actions were brought by appellant, the L. McBrine Company, Limited. One was against Sol Silverman and Sam Silverman, the other against Herman Koch, Harold M. Koch, William L. Koch and Rebecca Koch. Defenses in each action were that the claims were invalid and that, if valid, they were not infringed. The court below held the claims invalid and dismissed the actions on that ground.
