Jategaonkar (5) has constructed a class of rings which can be used to provide counterexamples to problems concerning unique factorization in non-commutative domains, the left-right symmetry of the global dimension for a right- Noetherian ring and the transhnite powers of the Jacobson radical of a right- Noetherian ring. These rings have the following property:

(W) Every non-empty family of right ideals of the ring R contains exactly one maximal element.

In the present paper we wish to consider rings, with unit element, which satisfy property (W). This property means that the right ideals are inverse well-ordered by inclusion, and it is our aim to describe these rings by their order type. Rings of this kind appear as a generalization of discrete valuation rings in R; see (1; 2).

In the following, R will always denote a ring with unit element satisfying (W).
