Summary
Infringement action based on patent for a mode of breaking and grinding bark and other substances of a like character. With regard to utility, the court stated that “{t}he question is not, whether the machine invented is the best one known to the community, nor whether it does its work better or faster than any other machine in the same department of labor. But, if it be to a certain degree useful, and be original with the patentee, it belongs to him alone, whether it does less or more work.” Id. at 1185.
