First patent issued by
U.S.: First U.S. Patent Issued Today in 1790, issued in 1790.
They didn’t start using
numbers until 1836, when Patent #1 was issued on July 13, 1836:
Another 108 patents issued in
1836. Patent #1 was issued to Senator John Ruggles, who happened to be chairman
of the Senate Committee on Patents. While there, he put through a bill to
reorganize the Patent Office, presumably knowing that one part of the bill
would be that patents would now be numbered, went and invented something
nominal so that, the sleaze he was, he could nab that first number. Here is the
patent in full: Patent US1 - Locomotive steam-engine
for rail and other roads.
