Professor Recovers Lost Patent Rights

Reinhold Rudenberg, Gordon McKay Professor of Electrical Engineering, yesterday recovered patent rights to his electron microscope invention seized by the Allen Property Custodian when he fled to this country from Nazi persecution in 1937.

Rudenberg perfected the microscope in Berlin, where doctors, treating his son, Frank II. '49, for infantile paralysis, found they were unable to study the disease virus with the available instruments. Federal Judge Charles E. Wyzanski, Jr. '27, entered the degree.
