It seems that everyone is either an inventor or knows an inventor. We all appreciate the story behind a cool invention. That’s why each card includes an amazing illustration and information about the invention, including the inventor’s name, the patent title, the patent date, and the patent number. I’ll show you how to easily look-up patents so you can read the full document–and see the other illustrations–if you want to learn more.

Back in 2011, I launched a successful Kickstarter campaign for the coffee table art book The Art of the Patent, which honors the incredible artwork created by patent illustrators over the last 220+ years. The Blue Deck, which represents patents from this book with some of history’s best patent artwork, is already designed and ready to go to the printers.
