269 F. 718 | D.C. Cir. | 1921
This appeal is from the decision of the Commissioner of Patents in an interference proceeding, awarding to appellee priority of invention for a device described by the Commissioner as “a system for producing musical tones, making use of an audion and a loud-speaking telephone.”
It is unnecessary to set out the counts of the issue, since we concur with the tribunals of the Patent Office on the questions of fact and the
Appellee, in the light of this record, may have difficulty in securing a patent; but that is a question to arise later between appellee as an applicant and the Commissioner of Patents. In that proceeding, however, appellant would have no standing to be heard. Foster v. Antisdel, supra.
The decision of the Commissioner of Patents is affirmed, and the clerk is directed to certify these proceedings as by law rquired.
Affirmed.
