- One millionth patent

Consumer and Corporate
Affairs Minister, Tony
Abbott, announced that the
Canadian Patent Office, a
division of his department,
granted its one millionth
patent November 19. Mr.
Abbott marked the occasion
by presenting four com-
memorative gold
medallions-— one to each of
the two recipients of the
patent; one to the patent
agent and one to the patent
examiner involved.

Professor James E.
Guillet, Toronto chemistry

rofessor and inventor and

r. Harvey Harvey G.
Troth, British researcher
have been jointly granted
the one millionth Canadian
patent for their discovery of
anew plastic which turns to
dust when continually ex-
posed outdoors to sunlight.
With this invention, throw-
away cups, plates, trays,
bottles and the like, which
are strewn about both city
streets and the countryside,
gradually disappear instead
of remaining to ruin the
environment..After turning
to dust, the new plastic
becomes a natural part of
the earth and is therefore,
as other elements of nature,
dispersed in volume and
environmental importance
by rain or by wind.
