Patent Monopoly"
lNeW York TimeS)


 There will be no doubt in the minds of most lawyers that the Supreme Court merely following the settled interpretation of the law when it decided the ether day that paentee may restrict the use to which his patent vacuum tube may be put. So long ago 1852 Chief Justice Fancy held that the fran chse which the patent grants consists altogether in the right to exclude every one from making, using vending the thing patented without the permission of the patentee' In famous decision involving the right of q Chicago department store to sell patented talking machine at less than the price fixed in the license, Judge F. E. Baker of the Circuit Court of Appeals held that within his domain the patentee is czar. This is undoubtedly the correct principle correct in the that it has been applied and again in patent suits If the decisions of the Supreme Court seem at times to have departed from it. if the patentee has been both permitted and for bidden to fix prices to limit the manufacture and of his invention he pleases it is because it is not always easy to define the domain which the owner of the patent reigns Yet there is doubt that long as he makes no attempt to levy tribute outside of his legal monopoly his sway is absolute
 Whether or no social and economic conditions have changed since the Supreme Court indicated the line that must be followed in judging patent causes another question There is a conflict in principle between antitrust laws which intended to foster to encourage invention by restraining trade To avoid conflict between the two sets of laws yet permit paten tees to enjoy the kind of limited monopoly required to stimulate invention, is difficult No solution has come out of the many hearings conducted in the last by halfdozen Congressional committees What need and what the forthcoming investga- ton in Washington should give us is thorough study which will leave doubt to the policy that Con- gress ought to pursue and which will not expose Supreme Court judges to the temptation of egslatng on their account in effort to right what they conceive to be economic wrongs
