2903 Series Visual Plates patent

Great news…

I found the patent for the Simplex light/strobe plate.

http://www.google.com/patents/USD265802?dq=inassignee:Simplex+fire+alarm&ei=HLXrTuDBM4LX0QHHvIG0CQ

It said Annunciator (I don’t know why) when it’s supposed to be a Simplex light/strobe plate.

what is the benefit or importance of finding the patent?
