Carter, former research associate in chemistry, and Michael Cheng, graduate research assistant in chemistry, Urbana-Champaign, inventors; developed with support from the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. University Patents, Inc., originally reported that it did not recommend transfer to the Foundation for purposes of commercialization. However, after further information was received from the inventors and from the Graduate College of the Urbana-Champaign campus, and with an imminent publication bar, University Patents, Inc., was contacted again and agreed to work diligently with the inventors to file a patent application as quickly as possible. T h e University Patent Committee recommends that the University's rights in this invention be transferred to the University of Illinois Foundation for commercial development, subject to the rights of the sponsor.
