By the Associated Press. ‘The Root Refining Co.. in a petition filed with the Supreme Court vester- day, contends a lower court ruling on oil cracking patents will cost inde- pendent operators $40,000.000 in royal- ties in the next three years. Asking a review of a decision of | the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, the Root Co. protests an ‘“unwar- ranted extension of the patent monop- oly,” which it contends threatens “the independent position of those gasoline producers” who have “been able to remain free from the group dominat- mg the industry through patent pools.” The company was charged with patent infringement by the Universal Oil Products Co. of Chicago in the lower court case. The Root Co. is & | Delaware corporation. In another case awaiting Supreme | Court action, the Universal Co. is re- | ported to have received $25.000,000 in | cash and stock, and royalties in all worth more than $100,000,000 from the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana.
