隨著應用在手機、平板上的圖符(icon)愈來愈多,辨識度成為一個關鍵的要素,讓人一眼就知道這個圖符代表的意義實在也是門學問,即便這是一個很小的東西,但對於早期在蘋果電腦服務的Susan Kare,就說過這句話:
I was so lucky to get to work in the Macintosh group with great
colleagues and talented programmers. That experience introduced me to
interface design development and how I might be able to contribute as a
graphic designer to the overall user experience. It also gave me
practice in aiming to communicate big concepts in small spaces.
在中華民國專利的修法中也增列電腦圖符(icon)的設計專利保護標的,與行之有年的美國設計專利上來看,這個保護標的也確實有其實用的價值,至少如同商標的辨識度一般。
從USPTO找出發明人是Susan Kare的專利案,結果多半是設計專利,比如:
US D575302
US 399,196
US 395,428
US D561,191
還是有發明專利,如:US8,231,389,揭露一種透過音段(Phoneme Segment)的擷取與取分的即時觀察評分(Real-Time Observation Assessment With Phoneme Segment Capturing And Scoring)
也有Logiteck的案子:US 6,362,851
