S. anti-trust policy on the adoption of the transistor by the Japanese computer electronics industry in the 1950s? Though Bell began to license its transistor patent before the 1956 U. S. Justice Department consent decree—recent legal scholars have attributed great significance to that ruling in shaping the future course of consumer electronics” Richard R.
