U.S. Supreme Court
Standard Indus., Inc. v. Tigrett Indus., Inc., 397 U.S. 586 (1970)
Standard Industries, Inc. v. Tigrett Industries, Inc.
No. 445
Argued March 2, 1970
Decided April 20, 1970
397 U.S. 586
411 F.2d 1218, affirmed by an equally divided Court.
PER CURIAM.
The judgments are affirmed by an equally divided Court.
MR. JUSTICE BLACK, with whom MR. JUSTICE DOUGLAS joins, dissenting.
In this case, respondents sued petitioner for payments alleged to be due under a patent licensing agreement. At trial and on appeal, petitioner defended primarily on the ground that its product did not involve any use of the respondent's patent. Petitioner did not at any time attack the validity of the patent itself, and apparently conceded that controlling law prevented it from doing so. The District Court found that the product did utilize the patented invention, and awarded damages. The Court
of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit affirmed in an opinion delivered May 27, 1969, 411 F.2d 1218.
