Metallizing Engineering Co., Inc. v. Kenyon Bearing & Auto Parts Co., Inc., 153 F.2d 516 (1946) Notes
From Bill Goodwine's Wiki
selling the output for more than 2 yrs before application invalidates patent
but in Peerless Roll Leaf Co., output was sold more than 2 yrs before, but said it didnt matter since no knowledge could possibly be acquired of the machine in that way.
nothing in statute says decision should be based on what the output of the invention is, only matters if it was sold for more than 2 yrs.
