UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT DECISIONS ON-LINE

1. A federal district court has jurisdiction of a Suit under R.S. § 4915 to review a decision of the Board of Appeals of the Patent Office rejecting a claim as not reading on the disclosure in the application for a patent. Pp. 325 U. S. 80, 325 U. S. 83.

Jurisdiction is not defeated by the fact that an adjudication favorable to the applicant might not conclude all possible questions as to the applicant's right to a patent.

2. The right of the applicant in such case to sue under R.S. § 4915 is supported by the language of the statute, its legislative history, administrative practice, and judicial construction. Pp. 325 U. S. 80, 325 U. S. 84.
