If it is your first time joining us, or your tenth time (or more!)... welcome. We are genuinely excited to have everyone join us back in Seattle for what is our 18th TypeCon. I mentioned “back in Seattle.” This year marks the first time TypeCon has ever returned to a city it had previously traveled to since the early days of the conference. Be it nostalgia, be it the city, or the program in 2007, many still say this city was their favorite. Seattle Then set a standard. Seattle Now will likely redefine that standard for many of us. As Seattle has grown and expanded, its creative community has too. Pick a category: design, technology, music, architecture, food, business, or many others and you’ll easily agree… Seattle is world-class. And so is this year’s program. Span- ning the globe, our presenters come from everywhere, infusing them selves and their unique culture into our typographic community and making it whole. This year our presenters and workshop leaders total well over 80 (that’s double the amount in 2012) — all volunteering their time, their wisdom, their humor. We are all a part of this community, and it’s humbling to find so many are willing to share. Let’s celebrate this as we explore, learn, and make many new friends. We all are responsible for making TypeCon what it is, and for this, I thank you. Earlier this year, I was asked how we managed to put TypeCon on each year. The answer was simple. Generosity. The tireless generosity of a small group of volunteers that comprise the SOTA Board, the locals in and around our host city, presenters, our amazing sponsors, and you. If any one of these didn’t exist, the conference would fail. So, on behalf of the SOTA Board of Directors, I’d like to extend a respectful thank you to each and every volunteer, organization, company, sponsor, collaborator, and attendee. You make TypeCon great, thank you. Now, let’s enjoy the conference and have a great time!

  • Critical Design – a New Paradigm for Teaching and Learning Universal Design
    INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ENGINEERING AND PRODUCT DESIGN EDUCATION, 7 & 8 SEPTEMBER 2017, OSLO AND AKERSHUS UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF APPLIED SCIENCES, NORWAY CRITICAL DESIGN – A NEW PARADIGM FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING UNIVERSAL DESIGN Anne Britt TORKILDSBY PhD in Design, The Norwegian Research Laboratory for Universal Design, NTNU, Norway ABSTRACT The critical design method, which was originally developed as a tool for designers, architects, engineers, etc. to open the (design) brief when designing “extreme environments” of the future [1a] – in so doing throwing light upon the design process from a critical perspective and highlighting considerations that might otherwise be overlooked – is now gradually being adapted to and applied in the field of universal design. Bringing this way of thinking about design into higher education could encourage teachers and students to broaden their knowledge in this field, better equipping students to create in an inclusive manner and ensuring that future products, buildings, and exterior spaces are accessible to all to the greatest extent possible [2]. In order to test and further develop this way of thinking about universal design for educational contexts, two series of workshops have been conducted: One at a research institute for rehabilitation engineering and design, and one within a Master’s programme in occupational therapy. The purpose of this paper is to describe the process of adapting the critical design method as it is used in institutional environments, such as hospitals and prisons, to various universal design contexts, and to discuss the preliminary results. The paper also examines the question of whether critical design is an optimal method of challenging and ultimately improving the field of universal design – and, if so, how to proceed in order to achieve the best teaching and learning outcomes.

  • The Constitutionality of Design Patents
    CLIFFORD & PELTZ-STEELE - DESIGN PATENTS FINAL - WEBSITE.DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 11/27/15 12:54 PM THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF DESIGN PATENTS RALPH D. CLIFFORD* & RICHARD J. PELTZ-STEELE** ABSTRACT Design patents have been part of American law since 1842. In that time, only just over 600,000 design patents have been issued, with more than half of these being granted in the last twenty years. This quantity is dramatically fewer than the number of utility patents issued which is rapidly approaching 9,000,000 issued patents. Possibly because of the low usage of design patents over time, no case law and little literature address the constitutional issues raised by them. This article intends to overcome that shortcoming. Two constitutional aspects of design patents will be examined. First, congressional authority to adopt the design patent laws will be examined. The Constitution in Article I, Section 8, Clause 8 grants Congress specific powers to adopt both patents and copyrights. When a design is examined, it is unclear that it is an invention making its patentability suspect. At the same time, establishing a design as a writing is not problematic, leading to its eligibility for copyright. In this case, the clause itself must be examined to determine if something that qualifies only for copyright protection can nevertheless be granted a patent. The words chosen in the clause, particularly based on the way some of them were used in the Eighteenth Century, suggest that the answer is “no.” Of course, any * Professor of Law at the University of Massachusetts School of Law. I wish to thank the participants at the 2013 Intellectual Property Academic Conference held at the Franklin Pierce Center for Intellectual Property at the University of New Hampshire School of Law and at PatCon4 held at University of San Diego who made many valuable suggestions regarding this article and its improvement.

  • Visual Research Universal Communication Communication of Selling the Narrow Column Square Span Text in Color Change of Impact New Slaves
    VISUAL RESEARCH UNIVERSAL COMMUNICATION COMMUNICATION OF SELLING THE NARROW COLUMN SQUARE SPAN TEXT IN COLOR CHANGE OF IMPACT NEW SLAVES ON TYPOGRAPHY by Herbert Bayer Typography is a service art, not a fine art, however pure and elemental the discipline may be. The graphic designer today seems to feel that the typographic means at his disposal have been exhausted. Accelerated by the speed of our time, a wish for new excitement is in the air. “New styles” are hopefully expected to appear. Nothing is more constructive than to look the facts in the face. What are they? The fact that nothing new has developed in recent decades? The boredom of the dead end without signs for a renewal? Or is it the realization that a forced change in search of a “new style” can only bring superficial gain? It seems appropriate at this point to recall the essence of statements made by progressive typographers of the 1920s: Previously used largely as a medium for making language visible, typographic material was discovered to have distinctive optical properties of its own, pointing toward specifically typographic expression. Typographers envisioned possibilities of deeper visual experiences from a new exploitation of the typographic material itself. Typography was for the first time seen not as an isolated discipline and technique, but in context with the ever-widening visual experiences that the picture symbol, photo, film, and television brought. They called for clarity, conciseness, precision; for more articulation, contrast, tension in the color and black and white values of the typographic page. They recognized that in all human endeavors a technology had adjusted to man’s demands; while no marked change or improvement had taken place in man’s most profound invention, printing-writing, since Gutenberg.

  • Argentina Argentine Argentinien Report Q169 in the Name of The
    Argentina Argentine Argentinien Report Q169 in the name of the Argentinean Group by Ernesto O'FARRELL and Gustavo P. GIAY Criminal law sanctions with regard to the infringement of intellectual property rights 2. Substantive Law 2.1 Penal sanctions have been in force since long before the TRIPS Treaty was adopted by Argentina. A special Law improving penal sanctions related with infringement of software has been enacted after TRIPS. 2.2 Regarding trademarks, a special intentional element is not necessary, because the Law presumes that dealers are expected to keep accurate records of their commercial opera- tions, and should be able to prove the source from which they obtained the infringing goods, so that the owner of the trademark may prosecute the party or parties responsible for the infringement. This point of view has been ratified by a quite recent Supreme Court decision in re Sandys Confezioni S.P.A. (S. 350-XXII, March 13, 1990). With respect to copyright and patents, the courts normally require that the culprit has had a reasonable opportunity to be aware of the rights protected that he has infringed, which is almost equivalent to the requirement of an intentional element. In general, the burden of proof has to be assumed by plaintiff, except, with respect to trademarks and patents, when the culprit refuses to give proof and information regarding: a) the name and address of whoever sold or deliver the infringing goods, when such transaction took place, as well as to exhibit the respective invoices; b) the amount of units manufactured or sold and their price, as well as to exhibit the sale invoices.

  • Design Patent Infringement: Post- Egyptian Goddess
    DESIGN PATENT INFRINGEMENT: POST- EGYPTIAN GODDESS Marta Kowalczyk* I. INTRODUCTION The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit overturned de- sign patent precedent in its en banc decision in Egyptian Goddess, Inc. v. Swisa Inc.1 Prior to Egyptian Goddess, courts had been applying a two-prong test to determine design patent infringement. Egyptian Goddess eliminated one of those prongs: the point of novelty test.2 The Federal Circuit in Egyptian God- dess instead only focused on one test, the ordinary observer test, to determine design patent infringement.3 The Federal Circuit not only held the ordinary observer test to be the sole test in determining design patent infringement but also modified this test.4 This recent development discusses the rejection of the point of novelty test and the modification of the ordinary observer test in Egyptian Goddess.5 Part II briefly overviews design patent law prior to Egyptian Goddess, focusing on the evolution of the two-prong test of design patent infringement. Part III discusses the facts and analysis of Egyptian Goddess. Part IV reviews case law post-Egyptian Goddess and comments on the effects of Egyptian Goddess on design patent infringement law. Part V provides concluding remarks on the future of design patent law post-Egyptian Goddess. II. DESIGN PATENT LAW PRE-EGYPTIAN GODDESS Prior to Egyptian Goddess, design patent holders were required to satisfy two separate tests in order to succeed in a design patent infringement claim: the ordinary-observer test and the point of novelty test. This Part discusses the framework of the aforementioned tests.

To exhaustively describe the contours of each of these large bodies of law is beyond the scope of this chapter, but a working understanding of each flavor of intellectual property right is useful for the construction law lawyer. This chapter broadly describes each body of law and focuses on selected issues that arise with more frequency in the construction industry: 1) Copyright protections that exist in architectural plans, drawings, and the constructed buildings themselves; 2) The rights of visual artists; 3) The potential for trademark protection in non-functional and distinctive design and décor features in buildings; and 4) The challenges of trademark protection for larger development projects.

  • Parametric CAD Modeling: an Analysis of Strategies for Design Reusability
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repositori Institucional de la Universitat Jaume I Parametric CAD Modeling: An Analysis of Strategies for Design Reusability Jorge D. Cambaa, Manuel Conterob, Pedro Companyc aUniversity of Houston. Houston, TX. [email protected] bUniversitat Politècnica de València. Valencia, Spain. [email protected] cUniversitat Jaume I, Castellón, Spain. [email protected] Abstract CAD model quality in parametric design scenarios largely determines the level of flexibility and adaptability of a 3D model (how easy it is to alter the geometry) as well as its reusability (the ability to use existing geometry in other contexts and applications). In the context of mechanical CAD systems, the nature of the feature-based parametric modeling paradigm, which is based on parent-child interdependencies between features, allows a wide selection of approaches for creating a specific model. Despite the virtually unlimited range of possible strategies for modeling a part, only a small number of them can guarantee an appropriate internal structure which results in a truly reusable CAD model. In this paper, we present an analysis of formal CAD modeling strategies and best practices for history-based parametric design: Delphi’s horizontal modeling, explicit reference modeling, and resilient modeling. Aspects considered in our study include the rationale to avoid the creation of unnecessary feature interdependencies, the sequence and selection criteria for those features, and the effects of parent/child relations on model alteration. We provide a comparative evaluation of these strategies in the form of a series of experiments using three industrial CAD models with different levels of complexity.

  • Smooth Writing with In-Line Formatting Louise S
    NESUG 2007 Posters Smooth Writing with In-Line Formatting Louise S. Hadden, Abt Associates Inc., Cambridge, MA ABSTRACT PROC TEMPLATE and ODS provide SAS® programmers with the tools to create customized reports and tables that can be used multiple times, for multiple projects. For ad hoc reporting or the exploratory or design phase of creating custom reports and tables, SAS® provides us with an easy option: in-line formatting. There will be a greater range of in-line formatting available in SAS 9.2, but the technique is still useful today in SAS versions 8.2 and 9.1, in a variety of procedures and output destinations. Several examples of in-line formatting will be presented, including formatting titles, footnotes and specific cells, bolding specified lines, shading specified lines, and publishing with a custom font. INTRODUCTION In-line formatting within procedural output is generally limited to three procedures: PROC PRINT, PROC REPORT and PROC TABULATE. The exception to this rule is in-line formatting with the use of ODS ESCAPECHAR, which will be briefly discussed in this paper. Even without the use of ODSESCAPECHAR, the number of options with in- line formatting is still exciting and almost overwhelming. As I was preparing to write this paper, I found that I kept thinking of more ways to customize output than would be possible to explore at any given time. The scope of the paper therefore will be limited to a few examples outputting to two destination “families”, ODS PRINTER (RTF and PDF) and ODS HTML (HTML4). The examples presented are produced using SAS 9.1.3 (SP4) on a Microsoft XP operating system.
