Volume 375 — United States Reports

This is a list of all the United States Supreme Court cases from volume 375 of the United States Reports:

Held: as to a so-called “amateur” inventor, 4 that the transfer by exclusive license of all substantial rights under a patent was a sale or exchange of a capital asset, notwithstanding that the consideration for the license was royalties based on a percentage of the selling price of articles sold under the patent, and paid annually. 1946-1 Cum. Bull. 3.

from 96 intentionally omitted] S. G. Lippman, Washington, D.C., for petitioners. Bernard B. Weksler, Miami, Fla., for respondents. Archibald Cox, Sol. Gen., for the United States, as amicus curiae, by special leave of Court.

Held: "It is not the burden of the petitioner to show that his appeal has merit, in the sense that he is bound, or even likely, to prevail ultimately. He is to be heard, as is any appellant in a criminal case, if he makes a rational argument on the law or facts.

Held: any order reversing the trial court and ordering the injunction to issue would have been futile; an injunction could not at that date redress the alleged constitutional injury. The Court said: 6 'If the case stood here as it stood before the court of first instance it would present a grave question of constitutional law and we should be astute to avoid hindrances in the way of taking it up.

National Equipment Rental, Ltd. v. Szukhent, 375 U.S. 311 (1964), was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that service of process upon a party's designated agent does not invalidate personal jurisdiction that would otherwise be established, if the agent gives prompt notice to the party.

Held: that section granted no authority to deal with jobs as well as seniority. His position is that neither the parties nor the committee has any power beyond that delegated to them by the precise terms of § 5.

from pages 361-362 intentionally omitted] Joe J. Harrell, Pensacola, Fla., for appellant. Mallory E. Horne, Tallahassee, Fla., and Johnson S. Savary, Inverness, Fla., for appellees. Mr. Justice WHITE delivered the opinion of the Court. 1 We have before us the recurring question of the validity of a State's attempt to regulate the supply and distribution of milk and milk products.

Anderson v. Martin, 375 U.S. 399, was a 1964 United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held unconstitutional a Louisiana statute that required that the race of all candidates be listed on ballots.

England v. Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners, 375 U.S. 411 (1964), was a United States Supreme Court decision that refined the procedures for U.S. federal courts to abstain from deciding issues of state law, pursuant to the doctrine set forth in Railroad Commission v. Pullman Co., 312 U.S. 496 (1941).

from pages 440-441 intentionally omitted] Warren E. Magee, Washington, D.C., for petitioners. Louis F. Oberdorfer, Washington, D.C., for respondents.

Held: in cases involving attempted direct appeals from three-judge District Courts to this Court, that 'where the question of jurisdiction was not obviously settled by prior decisions,' the Court will enter 'an order framed to save appellants their proper remedies.' Phillips v. United States, 312 U.S. 246 , 254, 61 S.Ct. 480, 484, 85 L.Ed. 800.
