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.

FOR THE SEVENTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
1. Certain claims of Wallace and Hand Patent No. 2,236,387, for an improved cosmetic preparation to retard or inhibit perspiration, held invalid for want of invention. Pp. 291-296.
2. Since the use of urea as an anticorrosive agent in other compounds was already a matter of public knowledge, its use in antiperspirants to reduce the likelihood of skin irritation or garment corrosion was merely the application of an old process to a new use, and was not invention. Pp. 293-296.
164 F.2d 861 reversed.
