Details: Following these years of record profits, in 1975, Xerox resolved an anti-trust suit with the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which at the time was under the direction of Frederic M.

Within four years of the consent decree, Xerox's share of the U.S. copier market dropped from nearly 100% to less than 14%.
