Portland, Or., June 15. Fed eral Judge C. E. Bean decided to day against the state highway commission in the suit of the War ren Brothers company against Glen Ev Kibbe, and others, for damages including royalties for alleged infringement of patent. About $800,000 is Involved in the case, including a claim against the highway commission for $260,000, for royalty of 25 cents u yard on about 1,000,000 yards of pavement, and for triple damages and interest. The litigation woe the out growth of tho acts of the highway commission under a law passed by the legislature in 1919, awarding road work to ten different con tractors, using niateriuis which the attorney genernl had ruled did not infringe the Warren patent. Slate Assumes Blame. The law authorized the commis sion to enter Into contracts for laying pavement with provision that the state would Indemnify the contractors ior any dam a gen riUfitnlned in case or successful suit for patent Infringement by War ren Brothers or others. This law also provided that these contractors should not pay royalties on the various typee of pavement the attorney general had pronounced not port'ected by a valid patent, but that tho state, would Indemnify them against1 suit for infringement of patents, i After this law had go lie into ef fect the highway commisison let road work to tew different con tractors for fiome one million square yards of pavement. All of theso contracts called for a typo of pavement which the Warren Brothers company declared came within the spexiifcations of It paten te. Huber Suit Lost. In 1921! th's company sued Oscar Huber, one of the ton suc cessful bidders for road paving fori infringement of patent. Attorney General Van Winkle defended the contractor on the gorund that the patent was not valid. Judge Bean then decided that the- patent of Warren Brothers company was a valid one and hi;? opinion was upheld by the United States circuit court of appeals at San Francisco. This last decision was given early in 1925. In the menntime Huber died nt home In this city. When It was heM that the pat ent was valid the company at once brought suits against the other nine contractor and their bon dp men as well as against the state highway commission. Again the ntatc took up the battle. It moved to have the lult dismissed because the highway commission is a part of the state, and under the eleventh amend ment to the federal constitution . no state can be sued against ite will. Suit Held Justified. But Judge Bean held that the? state highway commission is not the state and that It nt iy be sued. He also declared that the 1919 law gave? permission to sue the state In Hie m ater of road paving patents and therefore the constitutional grounds for dismiss! I will not Htitnd. Another anfc to the suit Is tht the defendants other than Kibbe objected to being Joined In th: Hfimo suit, demand that each sued under a separate action at law. Judj'a Bean ruled that the fact ami question of law nre ttic same in efeh cane and that they eon til be irkd together without Injury to ony defendant, lie said the law gave the rlf;Iit to federal courlB of equity to prevent multi plicity of casf'S. and that be would overrule tho motion for separate trlalti.
