Description
This is a suit for infringement of a copyrighted cable and telegraphic code prepared by the complainant, Hartfield, of which he obtained the copyright in 1912. The defendant Peterson compiled a code copyrighted in 1929 known as "Petersons International Code 3rd Edition" which was published and sold by Peterson Cipher Code Corporation, of which Peterson was the president. Judge Coxe held upon the trial in the District Court that the defendants infringed Hartfields copyright and awarded a decree in his favor for $5,000 statutory damages, $2,000 counsel fees, and court costs which were taxed at $60.98. From this decree the defendants have appealed on the ground that the complainant made no sufficient proof of infringement.
