Recommendations of the University Patent Committee

(29) T h e University Patent Committee has recommended the following actions concerning inventions made at the University of Illinois. (Background information has been sent to the Committee on Patents of the Board of Trustees.) 1. Antifungal Acids from Two Marine Sponges. Inventors: Kenneth L. Rinehart, Jr., professor, and Douglas W. Phillipson, former research assistant, Department of Chemistry, and Paul D . Shaw, professor of biochemistry, Department of Plant Pathology, Urbana. Developed under the sponsorship of the National Science Foundation. University Patents, Inc., has reported that it does not elect to subject this invention to the terms of its servicing agreement with the University. The invention was concurrently disclosed to the Upjohn Company under the terms of a screening agreement between Upjohn and the University. Upjohn tested and evaluated the invented compounds for activity and patentability and the results were negative. T h e University Patent Committee recommends that the University release its rights to the sponsors, the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. 2. Particle and Radiation Detector and Measuring Device Having Fast Response and Wide Dynamic Range. Inventors: David A. Reed, former senior research chemist and Ernest A. Sammann, research engineer, Materials Research Laboratory, Urbana. Developed under the sponsorship of the National Science Foundation. University Patents, Inc., did not elect to subject this invention to the terms of the servicing agreement. This opinion was reached in conjunction with the inventors whose testing and evaluation of comparable commercial devices already available on the market leads them to conclude that the invention is commercially unattractive. The University Patent Committee recommends that the University release its rights to the sponsor, the National Science Foundation. 3. Dual Frequency Microstrip Antennas. Inventors: Yuen Tze Lo, professor, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Urbana, and Bo Fa Wang, visiting scholar from the People's Republic of China. Developed under the sponsorship of the United States Air Force.
