 * Weak keep -- It is possible that "designer" might be better than "inventor". It is unfortuantely not clear from the article when he was most active.  If this was before 1989, the lack of patents is hardly surprising, since Communist governments did not (I think) believe in them.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:58, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Whether we call him an "inventor" or a "designer" is completely irrelevant. Lack of patents is not central to the issue anyway: none of the things he invented (or designed) has gone into production, and there is no evidence that he has received substantial coverage in reliable sources, whether or not he has patents.
