  • How to read it yourself Section 1.152 of Title 37. It cites 1.84, so it is a sibling that depends on its sibling.
  • How far you have to go Published federal regulation. Free, permanent, and checkable by a stranger.

Graded against this, and closed

Not open

These stay published with the reason they closed. The standard did not change; we could not meet it.

  • Design Patent Drawing Sheets Sheet composition was proven on 1 August: work/deliver-sheet.py produces a sheet and measures it against all five published checks, and all five pass. That proves the SHEET, not the FIGURE. This unit asks the buyer for photographs from front, rear, left, right, top, bottom and perspective, and a photograph is the primary input here because the buyer is photographing a physical article. Converting a photograph into a compliant line drawing is draughtsmanship, it needs judgement about what is claimed and what is environment, and no route to it has been tested. Unlike the utility sheet there is no vector fallback: somebody photographing an object has no CAD to send. The checks were not weakened to keep the unit open, and it was closed rather than sold on a capability that covers half of it.
