Supreme Court rules patents cannot restrain trade after sale
Washington March 26 the Supreme Court ruled that patent owners may not extend monopoly to control products after dealers receive them and may not impose price restrictions. The Ethyl Gasoline Corporation licensing 123 refiners to produce anti knock fuel with patented lead sparked the decision. The court held licenses violated the Sherman Antitrust Act by giving Ethyl dominion over jobbers and prices, suppressing competition. The ruling noted such price regulation could not be achieved by contract or manipulation and is not sanctioned by patent law. Other antitrust actions include cases against glass container and hardboard industries. The Federal Communications Commission was described as open to competition with no obligation to protect existing radio stations.
