Patent owners protected under Sherman Act interpretation
The court rejects any implied exemption for patent owners from antitrust provisions. It finds no natural distinction between patent holders and oil owners to justify selective application. The ruling holds that the act’s scope includes anyone who monopolizes interstate commerce by combination, including patent holders. The Massachusetts court’s opinion concerns United Shoe Machinery Company v. Euclid Lane et al. and a patent employment contract.
