USC officials accused ar's Ozyagcilar of mixing chemicals and putting them into ions mislabeled containers in addition to taking I'SC-owned sion catalyst compounds and notebooks. * Ozyagcilar has the sole right to sell the invention in Turkey ,n ? while USC will pay the annual fees to maintain other foreign patents and applications /hen ear- The invention has been described as revolutionary because ship it uses low heat and low pressure to synthesize the chemicals ct of Normally, there is a high energy loss because high tem was peratures and high pressure produced the chemicals.
