• Eade v Jacobs

  06 Dec 1877 3 ExD 335, CA

The grounds, upon which an objection may be made, are pointed out in Order XXXI., Rule 5. But the onus of proof lies upon the person who applies to strike them out, and it is the primâ facie right

  27 Mar 1878 3 ExD 203, CA

  PATENT — First and True Inventor — Invention communicated in England by one British subject to another.
  JESSEL, M.R. This is a mere experiment. From the time of the passing of the Statute 21, Jac. 1, c. 3, down to the present time, no one, so far as I know, has contended in a court of law, much less has any court of law allowed, the validity of such a contention as that a communication made in England by one British subject to another British subject can be patented by the receiver of the communication, so as to make the receiver the true and first inventor within the meaning of the patent laws.
