   Mr. Chief Justice Taft

delivered the opinion of the Court.

This is a review' of the decree of the Circuit .Court of Appeals of the Second Circuit sustaining the validity of claim No. 3 of the Vandenburgh patent, just considered in the previous case of Vandenburgh v. Truscon Steel Co., ante, 6, and awarding $15,000 for profits to Van-denburgh for defendant’s infringement. The two cases can not be distinguished. We must, therefore, reverse the decree of the Circuit Court of Appeals of the Second Circuit and direct the dismissal of the bill.

Reversed.
