Interesting restoration classification system by Tracey Heft

[FFB]

I was doing an internet search on restoration today and came across an interesting discussion in a US patent application covering a system of classification and rating/scoring of comic book restoration of all things apparently written by Tracey Heft. I haven't read it all yet, so I'm not sure how it compares to the system that Matt Nelson wrote up in the Overstreet Grading Guide.

 

It's dry, but interesting information.

 

Wonder how (or even if) this will affect CGC's new restoration/conservation classification system being considered for its new labels?

too boring to read...I need the cliff notes.

This will never fly.

Prior art trumps this patent

If I am reading his application correctly, and admitedly I reviewed it quickly as I am preparing for arguments before the DC Circuit tomorrow in the anthrax vaccine litigation, Heft seems to be saying pressing is restoration (or at least conservation).

 

More discussion to follow for sure.

Whew! Between your apparent speed reading and Ares' quick, bold, and authoritative proclamation that the patent application would be defeated by prior art, I was starting to think that we had a reg'lar mensa meeting going on 'round here.

You're married too, and you've read further into the thing than I have at this point.

Not really the same kind of organization as mensa, now is it.

Was that a compliment?

When does your stipend run out?

No, just a witty remark. I'm going for a Macwhatever fellowship based on my creative CGC forum posting.

Mark's been married for a while and has kids. Different rules apply. Although if you and Liz were living together prior to getting married, then you may be eligible for the fast-track program, but you still won't get full membership until you have kids.
