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 EIGHTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
1. In a patent infringement suit, the bill should contain "a short and simple statement of the ultimate facts upon which the plaintiff asks relief, omitting any mere statement of evidence. . . ." Eq.Rule 25. P. 170.
2. In a suit for infringement of a patent, it is not a part of the plaintiff’s case to negative prior publication or prior use or the other matters to which R.S. §§ 4886 and 4887 refer. P. 171.
3. The issue of the patent is enough to show, until the contrary appears, that all the conditions under which a discovery is patentable in accordance with the statutes have been met. The burden of proving want of novelty rests upon the defendant, and is a heavy one. Id.
86 F.2d 77 reversed.
Certiorari, 300 U.S. 646, to review a decree affirming the dismissal of the bill in a suit for patent infringement.
