Case No. 477.

ANONYMOUS.

[3 West. Law J. (1845,) 144.]

Circuit Court, D. New York.

PATENT LAW—PURCHASER OF ARTICLES KNOWN TO BE MANUFACTURED IN VIOLATION OF A PATENT NOT LIABLE TO INJUNCTION.

In the U. S. circuit court, at New York, a motion was made for an injunction by a patentee, to restrain the defendant from selling cotton wadding, made with a machine, which the plaintiff alleges was an infringement on his patent. The court held that the purchaser on his own account of an article, the product of patented machinery, though purchased with the full knowledge that it was manufactured in violation of the patent, could not be enjoined, nor held liable in any other way.
