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.

CERTIORARI TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
1. Patent No. 1, 128, 145 (Claim 25), granted to Inwood and Lavenberg, for mechanical means of holding in proper relative positions side pieces and step-mitered end cleats, preformed and separate, while joining them by stapling and wiring into a foldable box-blank, held invalid for want of invention. P. 711.
2. The method of making the box-blanks out of separate, preformed pieces, suitably held for stapling and wiring, was involved in and disclosed by an earlier, and now expired, product patent to the same persons. P. 709.
3. The present patent (Claim 25) covers only a mechanical means, useful in pursuing that method but which did not, in itself, involve invention. It cannot be construed as embracing the method, nor be given the effect of extending the monopoly, of the expired patent. P. 714.
37 F.2d 830 reversed.
Certiorari, 281 U.S. 711, to review a decree holding a patent valid and infringed and reversing a decree of the district court, which adjudged otherwise, 24 F.2d 872.
