Corn-Rolling Saucer Sparks Patent Battle
A three year old novelty idea by Jean Rosendahl of Toms River, New Jersey, called the corn serving roller, led to patent disputes with others in the field. The Arbitration Board of the American Arbitration Society sustained her patent No. 2585174, awarding royalties and confirming her rights over the corn serving dish. Jean Rosendahl, wife of retired Rear Adm. Charles F. Rosendahl, asserts the invention is a butter and salt friendly way to serve corn without mess.
