AN IMPORTANT SHOE MACHINE PATENT CASE. A decree just made by Judge Samuel Blatchford in the U. S. Circuit Court for the Southern District of New York is of especial interest to all boot and shoe manufacturers. The case was that of the McKay Sewing Machine Associa tion against the Scott Sole-Sewing Machine Company and differs from a suit recently noticed in these columns relative to the same subject matter in that there was now no ques tion of a license or contract between the defendant company and the complainants. Considering the matter at issue in the latter trial only as involving the validity of earlier patents which the McKay Association own and the question of the infringement of the same by the defendants the Court has now ordered an injunction restraining the defendants from scribed in patent 29562 issued in 1860 and since extended to August 14 1881 or which ' embody any of the improve ments or inventions described and claimed therein and from participating in or aiding in such manner and sale.' being one of great importance as involving the interests of ing industries.
