Company
For Marketing Old
By HENRY 3. BECHTOLD
UPI Financial Editor
NEW YORK (UPI) - Where
there's a will there's a way.
This old saying may well de
scribe National Patent Develop
ment Corp., which is proving that
there still are new and different
ways to make money in America.
This recently-formed company s
underlying purpose is to bring
new ideas and products to mar
ket through the utilization of dor
mant patents.
These unused patents, according
to company chairman Jess Lar
son, could pave the way for mil
lions of dollars of new products
and other technological advances.
Literally thousands of new de
velopments are kept from com
mercialization because they are
covered by patents not being util
ized, the former War Assets Ad
ministrator declared.
The U.S. Patent Office annually
issues more than 50,000 new pat
ents and it currently has an
estimated backlog of some 200,000

To Administer Trusts Dividends
A cnarltaDic mist conceived
neany zu years ago oy j.
Edwards, wealthy Central Oregon
sheep baron, will become a real
Ity early next year when the firstl
distributions of cash from the
fund are made by the First Na
tional Bank of Oregon.
Edwards died in 1945, leaving
a substantial estate in trust (or
the care of his bedridden wife.
Elizabeth, who was much young
er than he. Mrs. Edwards died
one year ago after an illness of
many years.
The trust fund, which is invest
ed principally in stocks and
bonds, is valued in excess of
$600,000, according to Stetson B.
Harman, vice president and sen
ior ' trust officer.
As trustee for the fund, the
bank is empowered to use its dis
cretion in the distribution of the
money, but the First National
board of directors chose to ap
point an advisory committee of
community leaders to offer spe
cific reemmendations on disposi
tion of the trust.
The directors felt that the best
possible use would be made of
the funds by presenting all re
quests to the committee for study
and recommendation.
Portlanders on the advisory
committee are Harold Wcndel,
president, Llpman Wolfe Co.;
G. E. Cannon, president. Standard

patent applications. However, only
a fraction of all patented develop
ments is ever commercialized,
and of these, only a smaller
fraction turn out to be profitable
The problem today, Larson said,
is that countless new products and
applications are daily being un
covered as an offshoot of indus
trial research. These new develop
ments customarily are patented,
but they are not commercially
exploited for the benefit of the
public because they are not related
to the principal business of the
company that sponsored the re
search work. Or maybe the com
pany does not foresee a market
for them.
Meanwhile, other companies
often are seeking the same or
essentially the same idea which
another company has patented
but which it is not utilizing.
If these companies could be
brought together the one supply
ing use of the patent, the other
supplying the need for it every
one would benefit, Larson stated
The problem here, he added, is
to bring buyer and seller togeth
er to their mutual advantage. It
is here that National Patent De
velopment Corp. thinks it can be
of invaluable assistance as an in
termediary. Not only can it bring interested
companies together, Larson said,

but it also can investigate tech
nolocical developments, supply le
gal and technical advice, and,
where necessary, obtain financial
assistance to bring these develop
ments to the commercial stage.
Larson noted that many big
organizations with patents not now
being utilized are making these
patents available to National Pat
ent Development on a contractual
basis.
These firms include American
Machine h Foundry, AVCO,
Chance Vought, Glidden, Interna
tional Latex, Merck, Perkin
Elmer, A.E. Taley, Swift and
Thiokol.
The great diversity of these com
panies suggests the wide range of
fields in which patented develop
ments can be put to work.
Larson concluded that countless
discoveries can be translated into
practical accomplishments and
higher living standards if better
use is made of our technical
resources by utilizing existing dis
coveries and inventions.
