RELEASE OF PATENT RIGHTS ON PROCESS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF ANTITOXINS (23) For some time Dr. William H. Welker, Professor of Physiological Chemistry, has been studying processes for the refining and concentration of antitoxin sera which will eliminate serum sickness reactions. The Dean of the College of Medicine reports that there has been no laboratory experimentation bearing directly upon the problem and that whatever has been done has been published in scientific journals. Doctor Welker's discovery is still in the experimental stage and its development, in order to make it available for public use, will require the services of a competent manufacturing organization. Since the discovery involves merely an idea and no laboratory experimentation, the Dean is of the opinion that equity in the patent should rest entirely with Professor Welker. Doctor Welker had proposed to take out a patent and to assign it to the University merely in order to give the University the fullest possible credit. O n m o t i o n of D r . N o b l e , this matter w a s referred to the C o m mittee o n Patents.
