General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

Eli Lilly & Co. v. Sav-on-Drugs, Inc. No. 203 Argued March 20-21, 1961 Decided May 22, 1961 366 U.S. 276
APPEAL FROM THE SUPREME COURT OF NEW JERSEY
Syllabus
Appellant, an Indiana corporation, maintains an office in New Jersey on premises leased in the name of its district manager and occupied by him and a secretary, with appellant’s name on the door and in the lobby and with the telephone listed in appellant’s name. Appellant also has 18 other salaried employees traveling throughout the State and promoting the sale of its pharmaceutical products not to wholesalers, who buy them interstate, but to hospitals, physicians and retail drugstores, who buy them intrastate from wholesalers and sell them intrastate to consumers.
Held: on the record in this case, appellant is doing business intrastate in New Jersey, and a state statute requiring it to obtain a certificate of authority to do business there, as a condition precedent to maintaining in a state court a suit not based on a particular interstate sale, does not violate the Commerce Clause of the Federal Constitution. Pp. 276-284.
31 N.J. 591, 158 A.2d 528, affirmed.
