District Court, S.D. New York April 8, 1981, 76 Civ. 1224 (WCC) (Foster Wheeler Corp. v. BABCOCK & WILCON CO.)

OPINION

CONNER, District Judge.

This action was brought by plaintiffs (collectively “Foster Wheeler”) against defendant (“Babcock”) for a declaratory judgment that Babcock’s U.S. patents Nos. 3,834,358 and 3,927,646 (“the ’358 and ’646 patents,” respectively) relating to steam generators are invalid and do not cover any of the steam generators built and sold by Foster Wheeler.
