 This list of patents was collected as part of the research for my dissertation *Image as Collective: A History of Optical Effects in Hollywood's Studio System* (2014). It does not claim to be a comprehensive list in the sense of containing all patents that cover the field but rather gathers those that were considered to be relevant at the time. There are a few key selections here and patents, which are part of one or more of these, are marked accordingly in the `collections` column. The `cpc` column provides information on each patent's classification according to the [Cooperative Patent Classification](http://www.cooperativepatentclassification.org).
