JAMES M. CARTER, Circuit Judge:

Plaintiff Pickering appeals from the district court's holding that his patent was invalid in that it was described in a printed publication more than one year prior to the filing of the application for the patent. He also appeals from the court's award of taxable costs to defendants. Defendants Holman, Huey and Fenton (hereafter defendants) cross-appeal on the basis of the court's refusal to award them attorney's fees.
