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-

joyment by the public and by
the defendant" of the cleated,
patented box. 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

value to a ton of coal.
