PATENT LAWS no PROTECTION.

The supreme court decision in the
ha:h;ub trust case az once invalidates
both pleas upon which rested the last
hope Of the manufacturers TO evade
the rigors Of the Sherman act. The
patent laws as a means Of getting
around the restraint-of-trade clause
are no more potent than other laws
under which illegal agreements seek
shelter. Neither does the claim Of
benefits to the public" hold good
since the judgment of courts cannot
be set UP against a Law that is its own
measure Of right n wrong. ut was
designed" the court says, "to prevent
cvasions Of its Policies by resort to
any disguise or subterfuge of any
form.''
This ruling was first made in the
tobacco case decision: but its sweep
ing character appears to have escaped
the notice Of other litigaats who are
resisting the application Of the Sher-
man Jaw on the ground that the pat
ent laws confer broader rights than
the prohibitions Of the Sherman law
can reach. Under the decision it
seems inevitable that all combines Or
SdIilLcu 0L0S he patent laws HluSS
be dissolved, il they violate the Sher-
man act.
Another interesting deduction re-
,ates to the complaint that the earlier
decisions under the law failed 70 in
terpret clearly the meaning of the
law as to what constituted restraint
Of trade in other directions than those
specifically defined. Does it not ap-
pear that this latest Interpretation
leaves little to be desired: Each case
stands on its own bottom. Of course.
and there may remain a few obscure
minor points TO be cleared up b. the
supreme court, but on the whole
those who have been waiting for light
before forming new combinations now
have a working comprehension of
what's what.
