Bell Labs would continue to be a prime mover in transistor advances (notably the Metal Oxide Semiconductor transistor, or MOSFET in 1959) but granted extensive licensing in 1952 to other companies to avoid anti-trust sanctions from the U.S. Department of Justice.
Bell Labs ຈະສືບຕໍ່ເປັນຜູ້ຂົນສົ່ງຫລັກໃນຄວາມກ້າວ ຫນ້າ ຂອງ transistor (ໂດຍສະເພາະໂລຫະ Oxide Semiconductor transistor ຫຼື MOSFET ໃນປີ 1959), ແຕ່ໄດ້ຮັບອະນຸຍາດຢ່າງກວ້າງຂວາງແກ່ບໍລິສັດອື່ນໆໃນປີ 1952 ເພື່ອຫລີກລ້ຽງການລົງໂທດຕໍ່ຕ້ານຄວາມໄວ້ວາງໃຈຈາກກະຊວງຍຸດຕິ ທໍາ ຂອງສະຫະລັດ.
