Context

Chapter 4 details a complaint against Herter's Inc. and George L. Herter, filed by Woodstream (a competitor) that Herter's willfully and wantonly infringed on two patents within Minnesota by manufacturing, using, distributing, selling animal traps known as "Hudson Bay Professional Killer Traps" and embodying improvements protected by both patents. The case continued back and forth in the courts through appeals for an extended time.
