- doing a preliminary search to determine whether you're wasting your time
- obtaining initial consultation with patent attorney

What part of the animal is a leather bag crafted from?
A leather purse is constructed from many different animals including cows, rabbits, ostriches, zebras, and so many other animals. The main part of their skin is used, like the back. They try to stay with the large parts of the skin, but most of it is used in the end.

Why do motorcycle riders wear leather?
It is easily waterproofed. It is more resistant to ripping/shredding than other materials, in case of an accident. It doesn't flap in the wind.
My AnswerThe number one reason. Wind cannot penetrate leather, even on a warm day you will get cold riding a cycle.Also, and the more important reason to me, is protection. Leather is much tougher than say, denim. Aside from being more durable, it also doesn't "grab" the road's surface if you wreck and cause you to tumble. Instead, you slide. And of course, leather looks great.
AnswerNot all motorcycle riders wear leather... Only those who ride on asphalt. As far as I'm concerned leather is the choice because it protects the skin if you happen to find yourself sliding down the street on your back after a crash. If you wear anything else it will shred and then your skin will get seriously damadged. AnswerNot all motorcyclists wear leather. It depends on the motorcycling you do and your personal choice. Mine is textile and I only ride on asphalt. Modern rip-proof materials with kevlar armour are becoming more commonplace; they are more stable, waterproof, breathable, comfortable and flexible than leather; whilst, with armour, offering the same if not more protection. Moreover, never seen the need to dance myself into a leather condom to look 'cool'.Where is the Fonz leather jacket from Happy Days kept?

The same as any other parchment book, for that is what a palimpsest is (a recycled and rewritten parchment book). When scribes in the middle ages in Europe ran short on new blank parchment (writing leather) books to write on, they simply went to the library of the church, abbey, etc. where they worked and took an old parchment book at random that was believed worthless and scraped all the ink off its pages to make it blank again, this was called a palimpsest. They would then use this palimpsest to write their new document on. Many palimpsests got recycled this way dozens of times.
To read the old original text of a palimpsest was considered impossible (until recently) as that was the effect of scraping off the ink to reuse it. Also many palimpsests were rebound and pages folded and cut to fit the binding. So pieces of the original are often missing.
An "old tanner" could refer to an elderly individual who has been engaged in tanning animal hides.
What makes Italian leather the best leather?
The quality of the leather depends more on the quality of the hide than where it was tanned. Italy got a reputation for quality leather becasue it was tanning hides from all over the world. Italian leather does not come from Italian cows.
When new industry regulations came in to force many tanneries all over the world closed down but Italy decided to take on the tanning of the hides. Hides were shipped all over the world to Italy to be tanned so Italy produced some of the best leather but also some of the worst. Quality hides come from places like Sweden, Switzerland etc. and these produce some of the best leather there is. Smaller and more damaged hides come form Argentina and South American countries, these are used to produce lower quality leather.
Many of the Italian companies now produce leather in China rather than Italy.
