District Court, E.D. New York March 31, 1941, Civil No. 1489 (Klotz v. Rubinstein)

GALSTON, District Judge.

This suit involves the alleged infringement of two patents relating to brief bags. The earlier one is to Trager, No. 1,768,496. granted June 24, 1930; the other to Klotz, No. 2,043,833, on June 9, 1936.

The usual defenses of invalidity and non-infringement are urged.

Trager sought to design a brief bag which would dispense with the usual stitching operations.
