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.

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?
