Viewing Patent Office You may view the source of this page, but you cannot make any changes until you are logged in. The Patent Office enforces patents with force. A simple duty, but one that does not go forgotten by any City dwellers; this is how corporations establish niches and charge for services among themselves. The optimistic view is that the [[City Authority]] doesn't want any single corporation to become too powerful and establish a Roman empire-sized governing group that tears itself apart, though nobody quite understands the process of establishing patents except for some really high-status individuals.
