This suit was brought under the provisions of Section 4915, R.S.1 Appellant contends that he is entitled to the issue of a patent on claims which describe a vehicle door latch construction and a vehicle door, having a slidable closure therein with a latch located below the said closure when in lowered position, and with means for operating the said latch extending upwardly between said closure and the sides of the door. The four claims which are involved are set out in the margin.2 The claimed invention is intended to be used in the doors of automobiles.
The Patent Office and the District Court decided that the claims involved no invention. Appellant contends that they define novelty, utility and invention, which are not negatived by the references relied upon by the lower tribunals. We are satisfied that no invention is shown; consequently, in our view, the determination of the District Court was correct.
Affirmed.
