Dear Mr. Jones,
18 th December, 1968.
We have now ftnished our examination of the
Bell/Laing
cigaret:-?. I enclose two copies of our report for
your retention but
I would Hke your assuranca that our link with this
work will be kept
confi--antial, and that the results in the report
will not be published
In any w-=y v,,4thcu-t our permlssion. We have no
objection t::~ you
usina :.-ese results in confidential disclosures
which preser-.;a for
us the-ca two cond,tions.
c na-vc no wish to go any further with this pat
tern.' , In the
e--'recl-:.-- of ccmmercial cigarettes and
consider It unlikely that any
substenrial manufacturer would find the laboratory
results sufficiently
encoureel na
.. , to do so. Nevertheless, you may wish to
approach other
manufa=turers and in accordance w,th our agreement
you ar--~, of
course, ault-= free to do so.
I
%',rhen you have given this matter some thought
ane. if you
come tc the same view as ours we might be prepared
to consider
salvaV-ng something in the sense that it may
possibly be of int ?rest
to us to slot the Bell/Laing patent into our own
patent structure.
Obviously, this is merely an insurance and there
would be little
money ;:nvolved but at least perhaps the inventors
would not be out
of pocket.
With kind regards,
Yours sincerely,
