Brookfield Glass Company, Brooklyn, New York

That Brookfield Infringement Suit.

We are in receipt of a communication from the Brookfield Glass Co., of Brooklyn, N. Y., denying the report that was published in certain papers recently to the effect that they had been unsuccessful in a suit to restrain the Elmer Glass Works from infringing the Kribs patent, which is controlled by the Brookfield company. The latter claim that the Elmer company have been using two forms of a machine which they called the Duffield press.

The Brookfield company brought suit to restrain the use of both on the ground that they were infringements, but the court directed that an order should be issued restraining only the use of the second form, but refused to make it apply to the first form on the ground that there was some doubt as to whether it infringed the Kribs patent. The question as to the first form of press will be determined at the final hearing.
