Axelsen & Nielsen Air Brake Co. v New York Air Brake Co.

The atmosphere in Mr. Simmons' office was tense, as he sat at his desk poring over the legal complaint submitted by the Axelsen & Nielsen Air Brake Company. His lawyer, Mr. Thompson sat opposite him, looking concerned as he explained the situation to his client.

"As you can see in that document, the Axelsen & Nielsen Air Brake Company has filed for an injunction. They believe that you infringed their patents, producing and manufacturing it without their permission."

Simmons sighed and placed the file down on his desk. "This is ridiculous, I knew this would happen."

"Happen what?" Mr. Thompson asked.

"That they are going to do this. I didn't copy their air brake technology. The air brake that we are manufacturing is new and different from theirs."

"Not according to their lawyer who said that you simply changed the piping diagram, isn't it, Mr. Simmons?"
