Abstract
A CHEMICAL PATENTS COMMITTEE of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research has been appointed to advise on the patenting and exploitation of results of the Department's chemical researches that may have industrial possibilities. The Committee is the result of negotiations that have been taking place for some time between the Department and various industrial organisations with the object of promoting closer co-operation and of avoiding unnecessary overlapping. It is hoped that one result of the Committee's advice will be that research results may be brought to the notice of industry and translated into practice at an earlier stage than hitherto, and under conditions that will take existing industrial activities into account. Sir Frank Smith, secretary of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, will act as chairman, and in addition to departmental members, the Committee will include: Mr. F. H. Carr and Mr. J. Davidson Pratt, representing the Association of British Chemical Manufacturers, and Mr. J. Arthur Reavell, representing the British Chemical Plant Manufacturers Association.
