Abstract :
A Patent Foundation for research and education in the fields of patent, trademark, copyright, and the related systems of laws has been established under a Declaration of Trust at The George Washington University Law School, Washington, D. C. The Foundation will begin its operations when, in the opinion of the University Board of Trustees, sufficient funds are accepted to establish it on a sound financial basis. Initially an annual budget of approximately $100,000 is planned, to be increased as the full scope of the Foundation´s work is realized. The organizational phase of the Foundation is being financed through a generous grant from the Alfred P. Sloane Foundation of New York City.
