Court Holds License
Device of Patentee
to Fix Price Void

NEW YORK, March A-The right of a
patentee under the patent law to fix the
price at which a patented article must
be sold at retail was denied by Judge
Augustus Hand in a decision handed
down yesterday in the United States dis
trict court. A suit brought by the Victor
Talking Machine company to restrain r.
H. Macy & Co. from selling monographs
and records at q lower price than that
fixed by the Victor company was dis
missed by Judge Hand.
Counsel for r. H Macy & Co. had al
legged that in consequence of a decision
by the United States supreme court in
the ssnatogen case to the effect that the
owner of a patent could not control the
retail price. the Victor company devised
a system by which 1t sold none of its
patented articles. but disposed of them
under a license system at a stipulated
price to the ultimate consumer.
The Macy firm refused to abide by
this plan. Judge Hand ruled that there
was only form difference between the
Sanatogen case and the Victor case.
