PATENTS
RULE
Department Of Justice Says
Many of These Really Are
Otherwise Worthless

By ROBERT s. THORNBURGH.
With Secretary Of Commerce
Hoover fighting to get the radio
broadcasting traffic out of a
tangle resulting from an over
abundance of stations. the De.
partment Of Justice is drawing
to a close its widespdear investi-
cation of alleged monopoly in the
radio equipment industry.
The probe involves the big ques-
ton of the right of corporations
to effect trade controlling combin-
ations through the use Of patent
rights, officials disclosed today.
Sherman Law Evaded
Department agents said that by
means Of cross licenses under
asserted patent rights, many cor
porations have found a means Of
evading the provisions Of the sher.
man Antitrust law.
For this reason the investigation.
in effect. has extended far beyond
the radio business. into virtually
ali industrial methods.

VOWED, the Department Of Justice
IN recent antitrust action hay-
ing declared:
ut Is d matter of common
knowledge that great numbers OF
patents are issued by the Patent
Office which are wholly void be-
cause, lacking in rovelty, or which
considered in the light Of prioc art.
are much narrower in scope than
appears from the claims.
The Government. the department
said. is not precIuded from con-
testing the validity or seeking TO
narrow the scope of patent
merely because it was issued by
the patent office.
Patent rights are now being en-
ployed in a large number OF indus-
tries to control the business, &C
cording TO department agents,
They insist that the right OF
