Description
IRVING R. KAUFMAN, Circuit Judge: Cali, plaintiff and appellant in this patent infringement action, is a mechanic employed by one of the pioneers in the airlines industry, Pan American World Airways (Pan Am). The kernel of the patented invention which is the subject of this suit was contained in an idea which Cali submitted to Pan Am on a standard form soliciting employees' suggestions in December 1962. Although of course Eastern Airlines, Inc., the appellee and alleged infringer, seeks to minimize its value, Cali's proposal apparently resulted in the correction of a persistent defect in the design of the JT-4 jet engine, then used in Pan Am's Boeing 707 and Douglas DC-8 aircraft before the introduction of the fan jet. Cali's ""suggestion-box"" solution had eluded the industry's professional engineers.
