New essay The Lost Inventions of Buckminster Fuller Part 3 of 3 now online for free.

"Inventions, the Patented Works of R. Buckminster Fuller" is a good introduction to Fuller’s many inventions. It is the basis for this overview of Fuller’s patented work. But "Inventions" does not include all of Fuller’s inventions, nor are all the inventions in "Inventions" by Fuller. Some inventions relevant to Fuller’s work are not included in "Inventions." Part three this three-part essay features the lost inventions of Buckminster Fuller, works that were not patented or which do not appear in "Inventions," and works that should have been in "Inventions" but were not.

Buckminster Fuller sought patents for his works to document in an enduring form what an individual could invent for the betterment of humanity. A primary resource for Fuller’s patents is the book Inventions, the Patented Works of R. Buckminster Fuller. Part two of this three-part essay features patents in Inventions that were not assigned to Fuller and patents not that were filed by Fuller. What did Fuller claim, and how do these claims compare to the public record? What did Fuller invent that has not been recognized by the general public?

ANNE AND BUCKY

In thanks for the contribution that their work is

for the privilege of having shared private times together

in awe of their courage

inspired by their human-ness

respectful of their integrity

in honor of their love

in acknowledgement of their passing

and towards the completion of our dream

this is lovingly dedicated.
