In such a case their action is combined action, the legality of which must be determined by the laws applicable to combinations. VIII. Defendant Marvin was the only witness called by defendants to describe the patents; this branch of their case rests entirely on the testimony of this interested witness defendant. Judge Moon, in his brief, page 48, says : The only testimony in the case as to the office and function of these patents was the testimony given by Harry X. Marvin, who demonstrated and illustrated the above stated facts of their complementary and interlocking character, and who further demonstrated the fact that neither of these articles, to wit, the camera, the film, or the projecting machine have any function whatever, except in combination with the other patents. Mr. Church states a number of times in his brief in regard to the testimony of Mr. Marvin on the subject of patents: This testimony of Mr. Marvin stands uncontradicted and unchallenged by any other evidence in the case. (Mr. Church's brief, pp. 70, 72.)
