Is it legal to reproduce the cover of a patent for publication in a book or article? I know that if you reproduce currency, the copy must be either smaller or larger than actual size. Any similar rules for the patent cover? A US patent comes with a fancy cover… colorful ribbon and seal, and currency-style engravings.
