APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OT THE UNITED STATES

Syllabus

Where it appear from the plaintiff’s statement that his case is for infringement and arose under the patent laws, the district court has jurisdiction notwithstanding the fact that he may also rely upon a contract as furnishing the mode in which the damages grounded on infringement should be ascertained.
