ABOUT

A patent application from the 19th or early 20th century was chosen as the starting point for the infographics. A patent application describes an abstract legal position created by submitting a description of an invention to a patent office. Patent applications usually include drawings depicting the invention, the specific appearance of which is regulated by the Patent Ordinance. It is a combination of technical drawings in different perspectives, with descriptions of individual components, showing the structure, material and function. In this way, objects can be attractively illustrated and precisely explained with information texts.
