Case No. 10,735.

PARKER v. HALLOCK.

[2 Fish. Pat Cas. 543, note.]¹

Circuit Court, Pennsylvania.

1857.²

PATENTS—INFRINGEMENT—LIMITATIONS.

Action [by Zebulon Parker against S. B. Hallock] for infringement of a patent right. In this case the defendant's counsel insisted that the plaintiff was barred by the statute of limitations: Held, that, as no act of congress had been passed to meet the case, and the law of Pennsylvania did not apply to it, there was no statute limiting the time in which a suit might be brought for an infringement of a patent right. The jury found for the plaintiff, assessing his damages at $68.
