Framycetin-Neomycin—French Patent, 1952-1960

Contains letter dated October 18, 1960 to Director of Patents, UCLAF, Paris, regarding a license agreement to manufacture Neomycin, which was isolated at Rutgers University in 1948, the first license agreement issued 1952, and the patent granted in France May 7, 1952 (photocopy of patent application in French). There are three research papers/reports by Rutgers' scientists in the file detailing the nature of the Neomycin complex. UCLAF had discovered at the same time that the antibiotic, Framycetin, derived from a similar source (streptomyces decaris) as Neomycin (streptomyces fradiae).
