In plain terms
The patent behind the CASSIOPeiA design, both the 2018 application and the granted patent published in 2021, mentions 230 watts per square metre in passing as an ideal and safe figure while describing the design. Neither version sets out to show that the figure is safe, and neither cites any safety standard.
The claim as recorded
The CASSIOPeiA antenna patent, sole inventor Ian James Cash, is published in two documents: the UK application GB2563574A, filed 5 June 2017 and published 26 December 2018, with 51 claims, and the granted patent GB2563574B, published 4 August 2021, with 50 claims. Both contain the phrase "setting an ideal/safe 230W/m^2 ground peak intensity" as incidental wording within a design description, on the same page of each. Neither document cites an exposure standard, and neither has exclusion zone or keep-out language in its description or its claims.
Evidence behind this: Two documents of one patent by the design's inventor: the UK application as published in 2018 and the patent as granted, published in 2021. Both are T3. A patent document records what was claimed; it is not a safety assessment.
Scope and limits
The phrase is incidental, not an assertion. A patent is a legal instrument establishing novelty; it is not a safety assessment and does not claim to be one. This claim may NOT be used to argue that Cash asserted the figure was safe, nor that he failed to support a safety claim, because he did not make one. It establishes only what the two documents contain. The granted patent's description was searched only in a machine-read copy of its page images, which can miss a word; its claims were read in full. Both front pages give a filing date and no separate priority claim. Whether the patent is still in force was not checked.
What it assumes
No assumptions are recorded against this claim.
Where it comes from
(GB2563574A), front page PDF p1: filed 05.06.2017, published 26.12.2018, inventor Ian James Cash. Description, patent internal page 7, PDF page 19, lines 31-32, verbatim: "setting an ideal/safe 230W/m^2 ground peak intensity". Its claims run 1 to 51 (PDF p35-42). The absences were established across all 44 PDF pages and all 51 claims, with the single "ANSI" match a false positive inside "expansion", and re-checked in the text layer in October 2026. SRC-795 (GB2563574B), front page PDF p1: date of B publication 04.08.2021, inventor Ian James Cash. Its description prints the same words on the same page and lines (internal p7, PDF p19, lines 31-32), read from the page image. Its claims run 1 to 50 (PDF p35-42) and were all read from page images. A machine-read copy of all 42 pages has no standard, exposure limit, exclusion zone or keep-out wording, and one "ANSI", again inside "expansion" (PDF p30).
