General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Stonite Products Co. v. Melvin Lloyd Co., 315 U.S. 561 (1942)
Stonite Products Co. v. Melvin Lloyd Co. No. 321 Argued February 10, 1942 Decided March 9, 1942 315 U.S. 561
CERTIORARI TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT
Syllabus
1. Venue in patent infringement suit is governed exclusively by Jud.Code § 48, which provides that, in such suits, the District Courts hall have jurisdiction in the district of which the defendant is an inhabitant, or in any district in which the defendant shall have committed acts of infringement and have a regular and established place of business. P. 563.
In a suit for patent infringement brought in one of two districts in the same State, an individual who has no regular and established place of business in that district and who is an inhabitant of the other district cannot properly be joined as a defendant.
2. The provision of Jud.Code § 52 permitting suits, not of a local nature, against two or more defendants residing in different judicial districts within the same State to be brought in either district is inapplicable to patent infringement suit. P. 566.
119 F.2d 883 reversed.
Certiorari, 314 U.S. 594, to review a decree which reversed the action of the District Court in dismissing, as to one of two defendants, a bill alleging infringement of a patent. 36 F.Supp. 29. The other defendant defaulted.
