Dome Patents

Since Fuller's dome patent was issued in 1954, there have been a number of related patents granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. I came across several interesting patents while researching for my own patent application. Several are listed here; many are not and there are many new patents related to domes and dome construction not listed here.
