Explanation:

The Sherman Antitrust Act was the very first federal law in the US to tackle the problem of corporations acting inappropriately together in an attempt to achieve unequal gains for rivals and customers. On July 2, 1890, it was enacted.

The first full enforcement of the Act was generally considered by legal experts and historical scholars under President Theodorus Roosevelt's presidency, which extended from 1901 to 1909.

The Sherman Antitrust Act didn't directly affect the security of patents.

This Act arrived in the age of a nationwide climate of discontent with large business activities due to failed businesses and corruption allegations.
