Wanted: Legal Background

This article is currently missing the legal background that allowed the rise of plug-compatible machines. A cursory web search turned up the following articles:

The New York Times: I.B.M. Is Found Guilty in Antitrust Suit And Told to Pay Telex $352.5‐Million
The New York Times: Mighty I.B.M. Takes Its Lumps
“Telex v. IBM: Implications for the Businessman and the Computer Manufacturer.” Virginia Law Review, vol. 60, no. 5, 1974, pp. 884–909.
Reason Magazine: Producer or predator

A user familiar with the legal aspects of plug compatibility could help add those aspects to the article. - wneo (talk) 06:27, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
