COURT DECISION
SUPREME BENCH
Chief Justice White, One of
the Dissenters, Criticises
Majority Opinion.

WASHINGTON. March l1.-A far
reaching decision unfolding the right OF
patentees to absolutely dictate how their
patented articles may be sold by retail
ers and declaring legal the investors

made by the Supreme Court of the
United States to-day.
II was a divided court ruling. for
against this majority view. announced
BY Justice Lurton. three members OF the
bench-Chief Justice White and Justices
Hughes and Lamar-dissented
Acknowledgement wlckersham, Solici-
tor-General Lehman and a large as
sembly of lawyers were present In the
court and apparently regarded the de-
cision as epoch-makins.
Chief Justice White declared that
Congress should act to read of untold
evils that would follow to-day's con-
struction of the present laws. lie said
that under the maJority's ruling the
patent laws could be stretched so as to
include In a patent every conceivable
thing used in every American house
hold.
The Chief Justice arraigned the ma
jority opinion as breaking all prece-
dents, the court in its past history
never having failed to do Its duty to
the whole people and 10 stand as the
protector OF every household.
In the dissenting opinion. Chief JUS
tice White said:
The ruling now made in effect is
that the patentee has the power by con-
tract to extend his patent rights, SO as
TO bring them within the claims OF his
patent. things which are not embraced
therein. thus virtually leg1slating, by
causing the patent laws to cover SUB
jects to which. without the exercise Of
the right OF contract. they could not
reach. the result being to not only null
tiply monopolies at the will Of an in
terested party and to destroy the juris-
diction nj state courts over subjects
which have been in the beginning with
In their authority.
The effect Of the ruling Ia to make
the virtual Legislative authority OF the
owner OF q patented machine extend TO
every human being In society.
Take n patentee selling a patented
engine. He will now have the right ny
contract to bring under the patent laws
all contracts for coal or electricity used
to afford power to work the machine.
Take a patented cooking utensl. The
power Is now recognized to bind by con-
tract n who buys utensils to use It in
connection with no other food supply
but that sold by the p~atentce.
The illustrations might be multiplied
Indefinitely. They are not imaginary.

power is vested in a patentee II should,
