Abstract
A recent result shows that a general smooth plane quartic can be recovered from its 24 inflection lines and a single inflection point. Nevertheless, the question of whether or not a smooth plane curve of degree at least 4 is determined fromits inflection lines is still open. Over a field of characteristic 0,we showthat it is possible to reconstruct any smooth plane quartic with at least 8 hyperinflection points by its inflection lines. Our methods apply also in positive characteristic, where we show a similar result, with two exceptions in characteristic 13.
