Talk:Hartford-Empire Co. v. United States

Adding information regarding the USPTO & Department of Commerce recommendation for Anti-Trust prosecution...
Hey guys, I suggest we add information to this page regarding how this litigation as an anti-trust actually came to be. It also does not mention sufficiently the relationship between this ruling and that mentioned in Hazel-Atlas Glass Co. v. Hartford-Empire Co. What is important about the Hartford-Empire Co. v. United States, 323 U.S. 386 (1945), aside from the very specific anti-trust litigation covered in it, is that it was born from the government becoming aware of fraud against an executive agency in the midst of a civil litigation between companies that was then reviewed by USPTO (an executive agency) to the point of recommendation to the DOJ for action, that then resulted in an anti-trust litigation.

That is very important nowadays where we see the executive agencies increasingly under the influence of lobbyists and unfortunately them being the least likely to compel to the DOJ to do anything. Therefore, I think actually obtaining the full-text, linking it, and highlighting the aspect of an executive agency having a part in compelling a DOJ action as a significant precedent in DOJ law is important. I think including excerpts of that would be important.

I am currently requesting the case files and the executive agency files from NARA, and will host them, and then allow us to update the Wiki article to cover the full breadth.

I assume you are all in favor of linking the full-texts of the litigations to the articles links & supporting documentation, as well as inserting a portion of how the USPTO & Department of Commerce reviewed and compelled a DOJ action from review of the civil litigation. The documentation from NARA should be forthcoming soon.

Please give me your thoughts. ForestGumshoe (talk) 04:10, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
