Perspiration inhibitor using malonate salts — Dr. Adolph Rostenberg, Jr., Professor and H e a d of the Department of Dermatology, inventor. At its meeting on July 16, 1957, the Board of Trustees approved the transfer of the University's interest in this invention to the University of Illinois Foundation, with the understanding that an application for a patent be filed and other development work carried on. It now appears that this invention has definite commercial possibilities; and accordingly, income may become available in the near future for distribution. In accordance with University policy on inventions resulting from the use of University facilities or resources, the Patent Committee recommends to the Board of Trustees proposed distribution of net income from patents obtained by the University or the Foundation. After discussing this with Dr. Rostenberg and officials of the Chicago Professional Colleges, the Patent Committee recommends that there be paid to Dr. Rostenberg fifteen per cent of the net income received on the above described invention. I concur in these recommendations. O n m o t i o n of M r . B i s s e l l , t h e s e r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s w e r e a p p r o v e d . O n m o t i o n of M r .
