S.O.S. UPHELD BY USE OFPEAR BOX William Veaux Claim Of Patent Infringement By Local Co op Disallowed. The U. S. ninth circuit court of appeal, at San Francisco has handed down an opinion that upholds the decision of the U. S. district court against William M. Veaux of Seattle in his pat ent infringement suit against Southern Oregon Sales, Inc., A. E. Reairies, counsel for the com pany said today. Veaux sought an accounting on which to base monetary claims for the use of a fruit box on which he assert edly held a patent. The court's decision Is of in terest to southern Oregon fruit men who have followed the case closely since its inception several years ago. Mr. Rcames expressed the opinion that the decision of the circuit court of appeals would end all such con troversies though he pointed out that an appeal could be taken to the U. S. supreme court. He stated that In recent decisions the highest court has ruled against monopolies based on in ventions unless the invention Is clear and contributes substan tially to the industry. Veaux Appeals The Veaux suit against the Med ford cooperative fruit-packing company involved the valid ity of a patent which Mr. Veaux had obtained for an asserted improvement of fruit boxes. The patent was issued May 21, 1S35. on an application made In 1931. After failing to obtain Jurisdic tion in Seattle, Mr. Veaux brought his case in 1938 before Judge James Alger Fee In U. S. district court at Portland. Judge Fee decided in favor of Southern Oregon Sales and Mr. Veaux appealed. When Southern Oregon Sales constructed its new cold stor age plant, it adopted for pear shipments a new type of box that had a cleat across each end of only one side and it was the cleat arrangement that Mr. Veaux contended infringed his asserted patent. Prior to Mr. Veaux's filing of his patent application, however, the company made exclusive use of such a box and in 1929 had publicized the box and sold at public auction about 150, 000 of such boxes filled with fruit, according to evidence pre sented by the company during the course of the case through the courts. The company sold more than 600,000 of such boxes of fruit before it heard of Mr. Veaux or his asserted patent, according to the evidence intro duced. Used Before Patent The company contended that the box did not embody any in vention but that the changes in cleat arrangements were such as would occur to anyone ex perienced in the business, ft also argued that it had made public use of the box for more than two years before the filing of the application on which the patent was granted, this being, Mr. Reames explained, a com plete defense of public use. The district court ruled that the patent was void and enjoin- ed Mr. Veaux and his successors "from in any manner interfer ing with the free use and en- I Guaranteed to Give Perfect Service! 1 i Gifts that Receive a Warm Welcome!

The court of ap peals held that from as early as 1873 cleated boxes have been used in the fruit and other in dustries and that the adding of spacing cleats for ventilation, stacking, storage or shipping does not amount to invention. The court ruled further that there is no invention in merely changing spacing cleats from one place to another on the box. Hickory and white oak, which weigh more than two tons to the cord, are equivalent in fuel value to a ton of coal.
