In this sense, the patent system was a parallel literature: a vetting institution similar to the conventional academic-scientific-technical journal insofar as the patent examiner was both editor and peer reviewer, while the patent attorney was a co-author or ghost writer. In probing evolving notions of novelty, non-obviousness, and cumulative innovation, Mark Monmonier examines rural address guides, folding schemes, world map projections, diverse improvements of the terrestrial globe, mechanical route-following machines that anticipated the GPS navigator, and the early electrical you-are-here mall map, which opened the way for digital cartography and provided fodder for patent trolls, who treat the patent largely as a license to litigate. . | | 出版日期 | Book 2017 | | 关键词 | Geography; Cartography; Geographic Information; Map Innovation; Map Patents; US Cartography; US Maps; Carto | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-51040-8 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-84551-7 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-51040-8Series ISSN 2730-972X Series E-ISSN 2730-9738 | | issn_series | 2730-972X | | copyright | Mark Monmonier 2017 |
