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.

APPEAL FROM THE COURT OF APPEALS
OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
Syllabus
Where a decree to which he is privy has established the right of a manufacturer to sell an article, there is force in the argument that such right should be recognized in another suit against his customer and defended by him. Kessler v. Eldred, 206 U.S. 285.
Devices used in connection with team railway cars are not patentable as new inventions when applied to street railway cars, even though a long time may have elapsed between their first use and their application to streetcars.
Where the claim is very narrow, as in this case, there is little room for the doctrine of equivalents.
30 App.D.C. 255 affirmed.
The facts are stated in the opinion.
