BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[June 15

The Committee on Patents of the Board of Trustees has examined background material related to these inventions and recommends approval. 1. Apple Cultivar — Daniel F. Dayton, professor of plant breeding in horticulture, Urbana, and James B. Mowry, professor of horticulture, Urbana, inventors. On June 2 1 , 1972, the Board of Trustees authorized the University to enter into an agreement to have Purdue Alumni Research Foundation patent and license an apple cultivar that was developed through the cooperative efforts of the agricultural experiment stations at Purdue University, Rutgers University, and the University of Illinois. T h e University Patent Committee considered the unusual circumstances of this case and the fact that the University contribution of facilities and resources was obviously less than normal. Therefore, the committee recommends that 25 percent of the income received from Purdue Research Foundation from such licensing be distributed to the University of Illinois contributing inventors and that the payment be allocated equally to them in accordance with thensigned agreement. 2. Suckometer — Gene M. Anderson, associate professor of maternal-child nursing, Medical Center, inventor; sponsored by the U . S . Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. University Patents, Inc., wishes to file a patent application and to develop this idea commercially. T h e University Patent Committee recommends that the rights of the University be transferred to the University of Illinois Foundation, subject to the rights of the sponsor, and that 15 percent of the net income from this idea received by the University of Illinois Foundation, after payment of any costs and expenses of securing a patent and of development and administration, be distributed to the inventor. 3. Use of Ultrasonics to Improve Sectioned and Formed Meat Products — David B. Anderson, assistant professor of animal science, Urbana, and Glenn R. Schmidt, associate professor of animal science, Urbana, inventors. University Patents, Inc., wishes to commercialize this idea, which it feels is novel and valuable. T h e University Patent Committee recommends that the rights of the University be transferred to the University of Illinois Foundation, and that 15 percent of the net income from this idea received by the University of Illinois Foundation, after payment of any costs and expenses of securing a patent and of development and administration, be distributed to the inventors, such distribution to be allocated 60 percent to Professor Anderson and 40 percent to Professor Schmidt in accordance with their signed agreement. 4.
