What exactly are patent illustrations, and why are they so important?

In the dynamic world of intellectual property, patent illustrations play a crucial role in conveying complex innovations visually. These illustrations, often referred to as patent drawings or figures, are visual representations accompanying a patent application. But what exactly are patent illustrations, and why are they so important?

What are Patent Illustrations?

Patent illustrations are detailed visual depictions of an invention submitted alongside the written description in a patent application. These drawings are designed to complement the technical details in the application, providing a comprehensive and clear understanding of the invention. They serve as a universal language that transcends linguistic barriers, aiding patent examiners, inventors, and the public in grasping the essence of a novel idea.

The Key Components of Patent Illustrations:

Clarity and Detail: Patent drawings must be clear, concise, and sufficiently detailed to represent the invention accurately. Each element should be labeled and accompanied by reference numerals to correlate with the written description.

Technical Accuracy: Precision is paramount. Patent illustrations should adhere to the specific rules and guidelines set by the patent office, ensuring technical accuracy and compliance with industry standards.

Different Views: Depending on the complexity of the invention, patent illustrations may include various views such as perspective views, cross-sectional views, exploded views, and more. These different perspectives help convey the invention comprehensively.

The Use and Importance of Patent Illustrations:

Enhancing Understanding: Patent illustrations provide a visual aid that enhances the understanding of the invention, making it easier for patent examiners to assess the uniqueness and novelty of the idea.

Global Communication: In the global landscape of innovation, patent illustrations serve as a universal language. They enable inventors and stakeholders worldwide to comprehend the essence of an invention without relying solely on textual descriptions.

Legal Protection: Patent illustrations are integral to the patent application process. They contribute to the legal protection of an invention by offering a detailed visual representation that strengthens the claims made in the written description.

Facilitating Examination: Patent examiners rely on illustrations to efficiently evaluate the technical aspects of an invention. Well-crafted illustrations streamline the examination process, potentially expediting the patent approval timeline.

In conclusion, patent illustrations are not just drawings; they are indispensable tools in the realm of intellectual property. They bridge the gap between innovative ideas and their legal protection, providing a visual narrative that transcends boundaries and propels the progress of technology and innovation. As inventors navigate the intricate path of patent applications, the artistry and precision of patent illustrations become invaluable allies in securing a brighter future for groundbreaking ideas.

If you haven't heard the news, it recently came out that Disney pulled a trans-empowering episode of the show Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur. In the time since the news came to light, I've seen a few people say Disney can't accurately be accused of censoring queer content, because "censorship is only done by the government."

Let's talk about the Hays Code a bit.

The Hays Code was a major form of American media censorship. The Hays Code was also not a government policy! While former American politicians were involved in the creation of the Code, they were not acting in capacity as United States government officials by the time the Code was enacted.

The Hays Code was enforced within the Hollywood studio system, never by the United States government. It was successful because the same studios that owned the films also owned the cinemas, which allowed them to enforce which films were shown. (This is called "vertical integration.") The Hays Code ultimately fell apart when anti-trust legislation separated cinema ownership from the studios, meaning filmmakers did not have to adhere to studio censorship in order to show their films to the public.

(If you're interested in reading more about the Hays Code, I recommend the book Pre-Code Hollywood: Sex, Immorality, and Insurrection in American Cinema, 1930-1934, written by Thomas Doherty. It'll get you started.)

Corporate censorship is very much a form of censorship. Companies such as Disney have immense political and social power. Disney owns obscene amounts of intellectual property. It employs a couple hundred thousand people globally according to Statista. Disney is a political entity, especially in regions it operates theme parks (such as Florida, where I live).

If the Disney company decides something is forbidden, it has a hell of a lot of influence. Disney absolutely has the power to enact censorship. I wrote a five thousand word essay about how Disney nearly killed the Nimona movie, and that's just one recent example.

Corporate censorship is absolutely censorship, and it's important to call it what it is.

A little reminder in these Neil Gaiman times:

Abusers groom allies as much as they groom victims. When they get accused, they need to have a list of people who will say they could never. They go out of their way to help you. They're funny and charming. They want you on the witness stand in their future trial.

If you got groomed as an ally and not as a victim, you would have no way of knowing who they are behind closed doors and you're not a bad person because you believed them.

The only thing you can do now is decide what to do with the information you have. That's the only part that is your responsibility alone, and you can choose to Sunk Cost Fallacy this shit or you can choose to be better. That is the one choice the abuser has left in your hands, make it wisely.

Sunk Cost Fallacy also applies to how invested you are in an artist's work. How much it defined you. How much it helped you through the hard times. How you imprinted onto these characters and let them share the burden of living with you for a while or a lifetime.

As a veteran of the 2007 Harry Potter internet forums, I am here to tell you that you did that. Neil didn't do that. The lessons you learned, the ways of being you adopted, the comfort you found, you did that. Neil Gaiman wasn't in your library nook or bedroom or study hall or apartment walking you through it. You consumed An Art and applied it to your own life because you are a sympathetic human being who wants to find community with other human beings.

The lessons you learned are yours. They aren't tainted by his behavior because he wasn't in your room telling you how to feel. You were feeling on your own. Take those lessons forward into something new and better.

None of this is an excuse to keep consuming his intellectual property and I will judge you hardcore for doing so, signed, the girl with a HP tattoo who hasn't read HP or fanfic in over a decade.

You don't get to keep it because it was important to you. It was important to you because of who you are, not because of who he is, and you can bestow your precious sympathy and attention somewhere else going forward. I believe in you.

Godspeed, little angels and demons.

5th Lord in Houses ⍣ ೋ

1st House: You are a very knowledgeable, scholarly and creative individual, who seeks understanding of him/herself through personal projection and interaction with the environment. You will get a good education, and your personality will flaunt wit and charm where-ever you go.

2nd House: You have a comprehensive, imaginative and an expressive mind. You like to exercise your judgement in a logical manner and express yourself intelligently. Your mind seeks understanding of practical matters such as the proper accumulation of resources. Career, or an income connected to the field of education, are very appropriate for you.

3rd House: Enthusiasm and mental involvement is your trademark when it comes to your projects and enterprises. You show great interest in acquiring the right skills to succeed in your endeavors, which may be focused on the different arts or crafts. Your siblings may be very creative persons who taught you a great deal.

4th House: In your heart you are generally a happy and a content person. Understanding life and using your intelligence, sooths your heart and gives you inner comfort. Education, for you, is an endeavor that yields in a good degree. You are destined to gain a good respect in society as well as ownership of an excellent property. There is a good relationship between you and your mother. Another thing that comforts your emotions is a playful interaction with your children.

5th House: Intellectual comprehension and high moral values are qualities that describe you well. You are playful and charming with your friends and family, and you are likely to connect well with your children. You gain knowledge of sacred and holy doctrines, and you have a very strong sense of purpose in life. In a sense it could be said that the flow of life supports you.

6th House: You may frequently run into hindrances in your intellectual inquiries or education, so you may need to develop your own obscure ways of gaining knowledge. Hence you might harbor a playful delight in finding things out and solving problems you own way. Your children might suffer, at one time or another, from health problems and your relationship with them could be tense and irritable.

7th House: Mentally you are strongly inclined towards close relationships or partnerships. That is where your intelligence and knowledge come to the best use. With regard to business, marriage and close social interactions, you have strong moral and honorable values. You may move to a foreign country for educational purposes. Your spouse is likely to be very intelligent and educated. Your children will be fortunate, and they may tend to travel to foreign countries.

8th House: You may need to get your education through secretive or hidden ways due to loss, challenges and other obstacles. Your mind is likely to be quite curious about occult, mysterious disciplines or crime-solving, and in that field, you are likely to be quite knowledgeable. You are very sensitive when it comes to your children, and you might feel a bit vulnerable in consideration of their welfare.

9th House: You will be endowed with higher education and be very fortunate with your teachers and spiritual or religious instructions.

Your children, although possibly having health-problems will become very successful and even famous.

11th House: You are scholarly, intelligent and popular among people. You are successful in your undertaking because you are clever in perceiving open possibilities and opportunities. Therefore, you will hardly ever be without resources. An older sibling of yours may have taught you an important lesson in life.

12th House: Attempts to acquire proper education might have proven futile in your life, and if you get one you might have to travel far to get one. Mentally you might get spaced-out at times, but sometimes you may get an idea that seems far-fetched but with time turns out true. But many of your mental efforts may get diffused and wasted and you may take risks and lose from it. The best expression of your mind might be in the service of the common good, in sacrifice to others. There you might find your real mental strength. There might be some difficulties with your children, either in terms of your relationship with them or in their lives they have to face great challenges or residence in a foreign country.

I know that I am preaching to the anti-AI choir, but I genuinely believe that skills like summarizing, articulating, and refining an argument, engaging with existing research or information yourself, and going through the process of crafting materials are core skills for life but also for many careers, and outsourcing those degrades people's ability to think critically and engage with ideas.

Even ignoring the fact that generative AI is awful for the environment and based almost entirely in intellectual property theft and has a bunch of other ethical issues, using gen AI as a crutch will actually just make you worse at both engaging with life and doing many professional jobs.

But also, beyond this, you will benefit from actively engaging with research and the news and shaping, summarizing, and articulating arguments.

Can you read a piece of news or an article and understand the point it is making? Do you know how to identify the biases of the source? Do you know how to understand what you are reading in the context of that bias?

Can you shape an argument based on information you have engaged with? Can you validate that argument by seeking out additional relevant information? Can you describe that argument to someone who is familiar with the subject matter? Can you describe or summarize that argument to someone who is not familiar with the subject matter?

Can you articulate your point--whether it is an argument or just a question--in written format? Can you articulate it out loud? Do you know how to shape what you are expressing to a given audience?

Being able to articulate yourself clearly, in a logical structure that is based on verified evidence, is important for so much of life.

I'm so surprised at the amount of pro copyright in this circle?? in the transformative-works-are-very-important-to-my-life circle???? agreeing that creativity and innovation can only occur in a legal culture that places restrictions which kinds are allowed??? I thought we were all in agreement that intellectual property should be abolished. it is absolutely not on the side of small artists, never has been and never will be, that's just capitalist propaganda, which you are not immune to. please people if you see this and you disagree at least read Against Intellectual Monopoly by Boldrin and Levine first

It's mostly a reaction to hustle culture and intrusive social behaviors, not actually an argument about the law.
