Patents - Monopolies - Contributory Infringement Of Process Patent, Julian Caplan
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff was the owner of a patent for the process of using bituminous emulsion to retard evaporation during the curing of concrete roads. Plaintiff supplied bituminous emulsion, an unpatented material, to road builders, permitting them to use the patented curing process, but had no express licenses or royalty contracts with these contractors. Defendant, a competing manufacturer of the emulsion, sold some of this material to a road builder, knowing that it was intended to be used in infringing the process patent. Plaintiff brought suit for contributory infringement against the supplier of the materials. Held, that the owner of a …

Michigan Law Review
The problem to be discussed in this comment can best be illustrated by setting forth a hypothetical fact situation. It will be assumed that an inventor, A has invented a new and useful process for refining oil, which process is denoted process X. Heretofore all oil has been refined by process Y. The oil produced by process X does not differ sufficiently in its chemical and physical properties from that produced by process Y so that the inventor can get a patent on the oil as such. Assuming that, upon proper application, A may receive a patent for …

Patents - Equity Pleading - Sufficiency Of "Short Form" Of Bill Of Complaint - Burden Of Proof Of Validity Of Patent Infringement Suit, Julian Caplan
Michigan Law Review
Complainant brought suit for infringement of letters patent and used the so-called "short form" of bill of complaint. Defendant moved to dismiss the bill for insufficient facts to constitute a cause of action, since there were no allegations of compliance with the statutory provisions for issuance of a patent. The District Court and the Circuit Court of Appeals for, the Eighth Circuit sustained the demurrer, but the Supreme Court held that under Equity Rule 25 the short form of bill of complaint contained all the ultimate facts necessary for complainant to state a cause of action.

Trade-Marks - Registration - Likelihood Of Confusion, Herbert L. Nadeau
Trade-Marks - Registration - Likelihood Of Confusion, Herbert L. Nadeau
Michigan Law Review
The applicant sought registration of the trade-mark "Powermax" for gasoline. The application was opposed on the ground of prior use and registration of "Powerine" for the same product. The register already contained the marks "Powerfuel," "Powerline," "Powerite," "Powero," "Powerflash," and "Powerized" for gasoline. Held, the application was properly denied. The mark must be considered as a whole, and the fact that the registered mark, or a portion of it, is descriptive in character does not justify disregarding the similarity in passing on the right to register. The showing of other confusing marks on the register does not help this …

Trade-Marks -- Map As A Trade-Mark Registerable Under Act Of 1905, Philip A. Hart Jr.
Michigan Law Review
Canada Dry Ginger Ale filed an application for the registration, under the Trade-Mark Act of February 20, 1905, as amended, of a colored map of Canada used by it as a trade-mark for maltless beverages sold as soft drinks. The Commissioner of Patents ruled the mark was not a valid trademark at common law and was intended to fall within the statutory prohibition against the registry of "merely a geographical name or term." On appeal, Canada Dry asserted that the mark was a valid common-law trade-mark, and that even though not otherwise registerable, it became so by virtue of a …
Patents, Copyrights And Trade Secrets - Destruction Of Infringing Instruments Owned By Infringer, Michigan Law Review
Patents, Copyrights And Trade Secrets - Destruction Of Infringing Instruments Owned By Infringer, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Where a patent is infringed, it is safe to assume that the patenter can collect damages from the infringer as well as secure an accounting for profits and an injunction against further infringement. Any one of these forms of relief or of various combinations is usually granted as a matter of course. Such relief is also granted for infringement of trade secrets, copyrights and literary property. Many courts believe that the problem is solved at this point. But two questions still remain: Does this relief give sufficient practical protection to the plaintiff? And, if not, can destruction of the tangible …

Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff had applied for registration of a trade mark for a cleaning powder consisting of a rectangular yellow panel, bounded by a contrasting blue border, affixed to the container of the goods. The mark was accompanied by two other trade marks and by certain descriptive material impressed on the body of the mark within the blue border, for which trade marks and descriptive matter registration was not sought. The Commissioner refused to register the mark on the ground that it would not indicate the origin or ownership of the goods, and on the further ground that it would be regarded …

Trade - Marks And Trade Names - Effect Of Word - Mark Acquiring A Descriptive Connotation, Grover C. Grismore
Michigan Law Review
One of the principal stumbling blocks in the way of the development of a consistent and satisfactory theory of trade-mark protection has been the anomalous distinction that has always been made between the so-called technical or common-law trade-mark, and the non-technical mark or tradename. This distinction, as has been pointed out previously in this Review, grew somewhat accidentally out of the supposed limitations on the jurisdiction of equity. Some of the earliest trade-mark cases proceeded on the theory that to justify the intervention of a court of equity, when the defendant was not shown to have been guilty of …

Michigan Law Review
P company had distributed patented razor-blades marked Enders, and, upon the expiration of its patent, registered the word as a trade mark. It also used the term Keen-Kutter, as part of its mark, but the use of this term on other goods antedated the patent by several years. P now seeks to enjoin the D company from using either term as part of its trademark. Held, (1) the word Enders having become descriptively designative of this type of razor and blade, D was entitled to use it upon expiration of P's patent; (2) as to Keen-Kutter …

Constitutional Law-Resale Price Maintenance -Fair Trade Acts, Joseph H. Mueller
Michigan Law Review
Four cases upholding the validity of the California and Illinois Fair Trade Acts were recently sustained by the United States Supreme Court. All four cases involved a similar set of facts. Plaintiffs, the owners or authorized distributors of certain well known trade-marked articles, entered into a series of contracts with wholesalers and retailers fixing the resale prices of their branded products. When defendants, certain retailers who had refused to enter into such agreements, persisted in reselling the articles below the prices stipulated in the contracts with other retailers, plaintiffs sued to enjoin them under the provisions of the state Fair …

Michigan Law Review
Petitioners brought suit in a federal court to enjoin the respondents from publicly producing a play, alleging that it infringed a copyrighted play of the petitioners and that it would also constitute unfair competition. The parties were citizens of the same State. After considering the claim of infringement on its merits, the court held that, although there was no infringement threatened, the jurisdiction acquired by reason of that federal question might be retained to consider the issue of unfair competition. Hurn v. Oursler, 289 U.S. 238, 53 Sup. Ct. 586 (1933).

Patents - Recovery Of Profits In Contempt Proceedings
Michigan Law Review
The facts of this case are stated in the preceding note. The complainant sought to recover in the contempt action the profits of the infringement subsequent to the injunction decree. The circuit court of appeals refused recovery. Held, the decree of the circuit court of appeals should be reversed; profits from the sale of the infringing article are properly an element of the contempt fine. Krentler-Arnold Hinge Last Co. v. Leman (U. S. Feb. 15, 1932) Adv. Op. No. 332. (Reversing the decision in (C. C. A. 1st, 1931) 50 F.(2d) 699).
