Description
Plaintiff-appellant (hereinafter 3-M) brought suit for injunctive relief and damages against the defendants-appellees in the District Court for infringement of its Thomson patent No. 2,610,910, relating to a neoprene-phenolic adhesive cement, that was issued on September 16, 1952. The defendants-appellees claimed the patent was invalid and raised several defenses, two of which were tried while the remaining issues were reserved pending the outcome of the present case. The District Court found one of the defenses that was tried dispositive of the case and held the Thomson patent, claims 1-10, invalid and unenforceable. This successful defense presents the only question which we need to decide, that is, whether the patented invention was in public use or on sale in this country more than one year prior to the date of the application for patent in the United States. 35 U.S.C. § 102(b).
