NO ROYALTIES FOR BELL
The inventors of the transistor worked at Bell Labs, the research and development branch of what was then the Bell System. In 1956, as part of settling a ten-year federal anti-trust suit, the Bell System agreed to waive royalties on all its patents, retroactive to 1946. So, the Bell System never collected a cent of royalty on its patent for the transistor, which was invented in 1947.
