The Denver branch of the U.S. Commerce Department’s United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) officially opened June 30. To commemorate its opening, the Denver Public Library (DPL) is hosting an exhibit covering prolific inventor Steve Jobs. The exhibit, The Patents and Trademarks of Steve Jobs: Art and Technology that Changed the World, shows off 300 of the 317 patents issued to the late CEO of Apple.
It looks like a collection of iPhones fit for a blue whale with a yen for technology. “It’s pretty big,” explains Frank Wilmot, a senior librarian with DPL’s Reference Services. “It’s about eight feet tall and 20 yards long,” he says. The display is housed in the DPL’s Central Library’s Schlessman Hall through Sept. 22.
