- Letter from Dr. Reuben Wood, Maryland Research Laboratories to Dr. Spencer Prentiss, National Defense Research Committee cc:
LP RE: Replies to his letter that tells him the Navy has decided to not file patent applications on his inventions and asked
him whether he wished to file and grant the government a license, says he would be willing to if he filed but understands
the Navy did not file because there was a probability the patent office would not accept the type of modified oath he wished
to substitute. Says he wishes to not file applications due to the doubt of acceptability and dubious commercial value of his
inventions. [Filed under LP Correspondence: 438.7] [Topic also in LP Science Box 13.001 File 1.1]
