peals, and the defense was its invalidity by reason of anticipation.-Elite Pottery Co. v. Dececo Co. (C. C. A.) 581.

The fact that the machine of a patent has never been put into commercial use does not preclude the owner of the patent from maintaining a suit in equity to enjoin its infringement. -Continental Paper Bag Co. v. Eastern Paper Bag Co. (C. C. A.) 741.

*An order granting a preliminary injunction to restrain infringement of a patent affirmed on appeal as within the discretion of the court.Scott v. Laas (C. C. A.) 764.

*The sale by a defendant which has been enjoined from infringing a patent for a soundproducing apparatus of a talking machine of records which are capable of use with the other elements of the patented apparatus, and which are intended to be and are so used by purchasers of such apparatus from complainant, constitutes a contributory infringement and a violation of the injunction.-Victor Talking Mach. Co. v. Leeds & Catlin Co. (C. C.) 147.

Where large numbers of an article containing a patented device are made and sold under circumstances which carry an implied license from the patentee to use the same, in a suit by a subsequent owner of the patent for infringement against a user of one of such articles which has been long in use, the defendant cannot be required to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the article owned and used by him is one of those covered by the implied license.— O'Rourke Engineering Const. Co. v. McMullen (C. C.) 338.

*The replacing by a purchaser and user of a patented article of a part which is peculiarly subject to wear or destruction, and which does not constitute a chief element of the patented invention, is within his rights as a repair, and cannot be considered a reconstruction to subject him to liability as an infringer.-O'Rourke Engineering Const. Co. v. McMullen (C. C.) 338.

Two wheels or pulleys connected together, so as to revolve as one, by bolts or other close fastenings, and a single wheel cast with two peripheral contacts, are mechanical equivalents, where they operate in the same manner to produce the same result, and the substitution of one for the other in a patented device does not avoid infringement.-Lidgerwood Mfg. Co. v. Lambert Hoisting Engine Co. (C. C.) 364.
