Subpatents are a system introduced in 1919 NE by the Western Sector
|
|
|
|
|
government to allow companies to easily license the rights to patents
|
|
|
|
|
as if they owned the patent.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Subpatent names are formatted as `IMPORTANCE-SECTOR-SECTIONS-NUMBER`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`IMPORTANCE` may be one of:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `V` / Vital :: Important in all circumstances
|
|
|
|
|
- `E` / Essential :: Important during galaxy-wide emergency
|
|
|
|
|
- `N` / Normal :: Important during shortages
|
|
|
|
|
- `X` / Extraneous :: Not vital in any circumstance
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`SECTOR` may be the abbreviation of any sector. Common are `E` and `W`
|
|
|
|
|
for East and West.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`SECTIONS` is a `/` separated list of sections, which may be:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `FO` :: Flooring
|
|
|
|
|
- `MA` :: Materials
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`NUMBER` is the number of the subpatent, which is a linearly
|
|
|
|
|
increasing integer starting at 1. The number is used to discriminate
|
|
|
|
|
subpatents with the same importance/sector/sections fields.
