BOARD OF TRUSTEES REPORT OF UNIVERSITY PATENT COMMITTEE

The University Patent Committee has received a report from Dr. George H. Scherr, Assistant Professor of Microbiology in the College of Medicine, of his studies on synergists for antimicrobial agents which may result in a potentially patentable invention. This may be described as an agent or material which serves to enhance the activity of antibiotics while itself being antimicrobial in nature. The University Patent Committee has studied this invention and is of the opinion that it may have commercial value. It was referred to the University of Illinois Foundation for study, and patent counsel of the Foundation advised that to protect the interests of the University and the inventor a patent application should be filed prior to October 15, !959- The inventor has expressed a desire that the application be made in the name of the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois rather than in the name of the University of Illinois Foundation.
