Dear Leo,
The Neukomm/Bonnet affair is develop@
and I have followed with interest the news ......
Felton and Fordyce have brought of your prolzp..@@ i
with the extracted tobacco, I should imagine
that you will be very near the end of this experiment
and I should be very glad to hear of the results as
soon as you can lot me have theml particularly as
it Is possible we shall have Dr. Veukomm over here
and have to talk with him in the next few weeks.
From all accounts It sounds as if you are
still finding the increase in filling power and
I should be glad to have an opinion frcm you as to
whethers
(1) the process 13 economically attractive.
That Is to say, will the Increase in
filling power make up for the loss in
weight, pay fqr the cost of extraction
and leave something La hand for profit.
(My feeling is that it will).
(2) you have a good chance of obtaining
Patent protection,
If the answer to (1) is 'yes', do you think
it might be wine to obtain a non-exclusive right to
the us* of the Neukomm/Bonnot Patent? This would$
of course, be solely on the grounds of the commercial
advantage of increased filling power and would have
to be carefully divorced from any implication with
