General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

Baldwin Co. v. R. S. Howard Co. Nos. 139 and 113 Argued January 14, 1921 Decided April 11, 1921 256 U.S. 35
APPEAL FROM AND ON PETITION FOR A WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
Syllabus
1. A decision made by the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia upon an appeal from the Commissioner of Patents under § 9 of the Trade-Mark Act of February 20, 1905, is not reviewable in this Court by appeal or certiorari under §§ 250, 251 of the Judicial Code, since such decisions are merely certified to the Commissioner to govern his further proceeding in the case, as in patent matter (R.S., § 4914), and are not therefore final judgments. P. 38.
2. Assumption of jurisdiction by this Court in a case where no question of jurisdiction was raised or considered does not establish its jurisdiction over that class of cases. P. 40.
Appeal to review 48 App.D.C. 437 dismissed; petition for a writ of certiorari denied.
The case is stated in the opinion.
