Sapieyevski v. Live Nation, Inc. - DDC 1:18-cv-00830 Citations in the UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE (cited more than 93% of other patents - International Class G06F) NEW INSTRUMENT CREATED BY JERZY SAPIEYEVSKI FOR HIS "PAINTED MUSIC" PERFORMANCES (2004 - 2010): "Explorations like Jerzy’s are the lifeblood of art. If no one is willing to try new ideas, art (like science) stagnates. Without a lot of technology, this kind of experimentation simply couldn’t be done." - James Trefil, scientist, author, educator (GMU) - "Why Science?" (click the image for more details) In 1990, before wide use of the Internet, Sapieyevski designed and build a prototype of an electronic desk for use in large classroom instructions.
