English Summary/英文概要： To make designs that work and endure (and are also legal), designers need to know—or be able to find—an endless number of details. Whether it’s what kind of glue needs to be used on a certain surface, metric equivalents, thread sizes, or how to apply for a patent, these details are essential and must be readily available so designers can create successful products efficiently. The Industrial Design Reference & Specification Book provides designers with a comprehensive handbook they can turn to over and over again. These pages are filled with information that is essential to successful product design, including information on measurement conversions, trademark and copyright standards, patents and product-related intellectual property rights/standards, setting up files for prototyping and production runs, and manufacturing and packaging options to optimize the design. It is an essential resource for any industrial or product designer.

书中富含了对成功的产品设计至关重要的信息，包括测量转换、商标和版权标准、专利和与产品相关的知识产权/标准、建立原型和生产运行的文件，以及优化设计的制造和包装选项。本书是任何工业或产品设计师必不可少的参考资源手册。(Sandy)
