The principal issues on this appeal are whether Louis G. Dubuit's Patent No. 3,090,000 for a silk screen printer is infringed by Harwell Enterprises' machine and whether Harwell libeled Dubuit by circulating a proposed complaint for a declaratory judgment disparaging the means Dubuit had employed in obtaining his patent. Both issues were submitted to a jury, which found neither infringement nor libel.
