Between 1907 and 1910, the Andrew Jergens Co., John H. Woodbury and the John H. Woodbury Dermatological Institute were all involved in lawsuits against each other, for use of the name "Woodbury".〔Corporation Plaintiffs 1824 to 1911, New York Chancery and Supreme Court Equity Action Ledgers. Renamed as New York Supreme Court Plaintiffs 1824–1911 online at www.ancestry.com〕 In 1908 the John H. Woodbury Dermatological Institute was brought to court for practicing medicine without a license, and in 1911 they filed for bankruptcy protection.〔(Papers of Learned Hand 140-14 )〕 The litigation in the 1908 lawsuit, established precedent involving the state's right to prevent "corporations from practicing medicine." The defeated argument being that they did not need a license, as they were a corporation, not an individual. The Institute was recapitalized and was purchased by Benjamin H. Freedman. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Woodbury Soap Company」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
