United States v. Masonite Corp., 316 U.S. 265 (1942), is a United States Supreme Court decision[1] that limited the scope of the 1926 Supreme Court decision in the General Electric case[2] that had exempted patent licensing agreements from antitrust law's prohibition of price fixing. The Court did so by applying the doctrine of the Court's recent Interstate Circuit[3] hub-and-spoke conspiracy decision.[1]
