"Toy Design Patents" Website
The "Toy Design Patents" website is maintained by Gus Lopez of Seattle, Washington.
Mr. Lopez describes his website as follows: "Here for the first time are the design patents awarded to the folks who brought us the wonderful characters and toys we love so much. It's interesting to note just who designed what for the Star Wars line. Many of these toy patents were in fact filed by Lucasfilm for their inventors - people like Joe Johnston, Ralph McQuarrie, Nilo Rodis-Jamero and such."
