PATENT SECURED;
RICHES VIS10NED
Tula, Okla.. Nov. 28 TV
Pratho P. Scott didn't think up
the V-for-victory emblem, but he
had a better Idea. He got a
patent on it, and now he stands
to make a fortune from its com
mercial use.
The V has been widely em
ployed, as in jewelry and cloth
ing designs, but strangely
enough nobody ever took the
trouble to safeguard it with a
patent.
' Scott, genial, hustling sales
manager for a Tulsa boat com
pany, got his bright idea recent- .
ly. He employed a patent attor
ney, advanced the necessary
S1S0 patent fees, and sat back
to see what would happen.
Plenty happened, and so
quickly it made Scotty's head
'swim. A search of the patent
office files in Washington dis
closed that the Tulsan had a
good hunch. There was no pat
ent on the V and one was issued
to him.
The number of the patent,
130317, may be as lucky for him
as the winning combination on
a sweepstakes ticket.
For no sooner had it been
granted than a dozen firms of
fered to negotiate with him for
exclusive rights.
