The season has reached the

CLAYTON ANTITRUST
ACT FIGURES IN UNIVERSAL
FILM SUIT


Washington, Jan. 23.-Applica-
tion of the Clayton antitrust act aud
price-fixing rights Of patentees were
brought before the Supreme court ia
patent infrinc ement suit brought
before the Supreme court in pat
ent infringement suit brought by the
Motion Picture Patents Company
against the Universal Film Manu-
featuring Company; the Universal
Film Exchange, and the Prague
Amusement Co., of New York. In re-
fusing an infringement injunction.
the second circuit court held that to
uphold the patents eompany's pro-
hibition against the use of competit-
ors' films in it's projecting machines
would give the so-called moving ic-
ture trust an absolute monopoly OF
the film business.
The suit was entirely distinct from
federal proceeding brought under
the sherman law against the patents
company and others to dissolve an
alleged combination popularity
known in the film world as the Nov
ing Picture Trust. In seven other
suits stS,250, 600 trade damages un-
der the Sherman law are asked by
: western film companies.
Also validity OF the latham pa
tented projecting machine was
+ raised in the present proceeding.
, The Universal companies denied in
, fringement, setting up prior patents.
Interpretation of the Clayton act
was raised by contentious of the pat
: ems tcompany that it is not EN-
gagged in commerce, merely licens-
ing manufacturers to make and sell
its Latham machines at fixed price
with prohibitions against use there
in of unlicensed competitors films,
and is a mere patent holding COM
pany. Therefore, it cOntcnded, it
WIS not subject to the Clayton act
provisions against corporations Gu
gagged in commerce refusing to deal
in competitors wares"
Rejoicing these contentious, the
lower court did not pass upon valid
ity f the Latham patent, hndine the
company's license restrictions void
and therefore no necessity to decide
validity of the patent itself.
The case presented was similar to
that of the Victor patents litigation,
except that the moving picture ma
chine ccmpany's license provides fer
outright sale o. its machines while
the Victor license plan provides only
for use" by retail purchasers CT
Victor products.
Under the courts rulings in other
cases. the Molten Picture Patents
Company contended its licensed salo
restrictions were valid
