United Shoe case argued on Sherman act breach
United States District Attorney Asa P. French argued that patent laws shield only manufacturing, not leases or contracts, and that the United Shoe Machinery Company’s 17 year leasing policy and demand customers buy all equipment violated anti trust laws.
