In certain circumstances an NCPC report might serve a function roughly analogous to that of a legislative committee report, but, since the Commission rejected the NCPC's recommendation in this instance, we do not even have the benefit of that guidance. 29 SEC v.

David L. LADD, Commissioner of Patents, Appellee
16225.
Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.
Jun 29, 1961.
294 F.2d 231
Mr. Edwin T. Bean, Jr., Buffalo, N. Y., with whom Mr. Franklin D. Wolffe, Washington, D. C., was on the brief for appellant., Mr. Raymond E. Martin, Attorney, United States Patent Office, with whom Mr. Clarence W. Moore, Solicitor, United States Patent Office, was on the brief for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

This is a patent case, under 35 U.S.C. § 145. Plaintiff-appellant’s application, Serial No. 333,147, covered a marked pharmaceutical tablet and the process of marking such a tablet. Though the plaintiff seems to have met a business need, and his process has achieved financial success, we are not convinced that the Patent Office and the District Court were wrong in holding that the application did not disclose patentable invention over the prior art. See Schafer v. Watson, 1961, 109 U.S.App.D.C. 360, 288 F.2d 144.

Affirmed.
