Dymaxion Airocean World Map:
"I had done was ‘pure invention.’ As a consequence the patent examiner allowed his office to reconsider and I was allowed patent number 2,393,676.
"The airocean map has never been marketed by any of the map companies. They have too much of an investment in plates for other presentations. It has, however, been used in a large way. Almost every one of the major national corporations has asked permission to use it as, for instance, the cover of their annual reports to stockholders. It has been used very frequently in general advertising and the maps are obtainable by the public from my office in Philadelphia.
“Subscribing to the evolutionary checks and balances of nature’s own gestation rates, I have never promoted the map nor solicited sales, but the world-around demand for them is rapidly increasing.”
