Upcoming Classes! Sriracha, Serial Killers, and Shibori
Today in 1790 the very first US parent was granted (for a new method of making potash). There wasn't a Patent Office yet, and instead the Secretary of State, the Secretary of War, and the Attorney General all sat down together to review the applications, calling themselves the "Board of Arts." Over the entire year they approved three whole patents, about 0.0012% of what the USPTO did in 2012.
