RELEASE OF FOREIGN PATENT RIGHTS IN PROCESS OF REMOVING AND RECOVERING SULPHUR DIOXIDE, CASE NO. 8

(10) The Faculty Committee on Patents recommends the release to Dr. H. F. Johnstone, of the Department of Chemistry, of the foreign patent rights in Case No. 8, entitled "A Process of Removing and Recovering Sulphur Dioxide." Under the contract with the Commonwealth Edison Company, successor to the Utilities Research Commission, that company has all rights to patents, foreign and domestic. The company has released interest in the foreign patents in this instance and the Faculty Committee on Patents does not believe that there would be any justification for spending University funds in filing or prosecuting foreign applications. O n m o t i o n of M r s . F r e e m a n , t h i s release was a u t h o r i z e d as recommended.
