Patent Act of 1790

Read a random definition: insuring clause

A quick definition of Patent Act of 1790:

The Patent Act of 1790 was the first law in the United States that allowed people to get patents for their inventions. A group of important people looked at the inventions and decided if they were good enough to get a patent. This group was later replaced by a simpler system where people could just register their inventions.

A more thorough explanation:

The Patent Act of 1790 was the first patent law in the United States. It created a board to review patent applications and determine if the inventions were useful and important enough to be granted a patent.

The board was made up of the Secretary of State, the Secretary of War, and the Attorney General. They would examine the patent applications, specifications, and drawings to decide if the invention was worthy of a patent.

After three years, the board was abolished and replaced with a simpler registration system.

For example, if someone invented a new machine that could make clothes faster and more efficiently, they could apply for a patent under the Patent Act of 1790. The board would review their application and decide if the invention was useful and important enough to be granted a patent.

The Patent Act of 1790 was an important step in protecting inventors' rights and encouraging innovation in the United States.
