  dyes and other synthetic organic chemicals in the United States.

There are six domestic makers of phthalic anhydride, with producing units
at Bridgeville, Pa., Buffalo, N. Y., Philadelphia, Pa., Deepwater Point,
N. J., Saint Louis, Mo., and Detroit, Mich. Five of these firms have been
producing in commercial quantities continuously for a number of years and
it is therefore believed that these companies may continue to produce
without the payment of royalties. New producers using this process,
however, might be at a disadvantage unless licensed to operate without
the payment of royalties by the owner of the patent.
