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, the author 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. 546 $a Text in English. 650 0 $a Cartography $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Patents $z United States. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85098661 650 0 $a Intellectual property $z United States. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008104752 776 08 $i Online version: $a Monmonier, Mark. $t Patents and cartographic inventions.
