188928097Middletown CT: Self-published 1889. First Edition. Very Good. First Edition. One sheet of 15 x 10 inch bristol board. Black ink on white paper. Some damage to the extremities mostly upper left margins. Inked notes in black and red. Drawing witnesses were D. H. Haywood and C. E. Sundgren. Brown & Griswold were his attorneys. On the verso are penciled notes about the inventor and a note "Amendment Drawing". The assigned patent application serial number was 290167 and it was received by the US Patent Office USPTO on November 6 1888. The patent was issued on May 21 1889 and given design patent number 19110 with a term of 14 years. We have included a printout of the patent text for reference.<br /> <br /> NOTE: This is one of a collection of original patent art recently received. If you are interested in knowing about additional items please let us know. Hand-drawn patent drawings while critical to the patent process don't often appear for sale. With only the inventor attorney and USPTO the likely recipients few were made and after expiring many were discarded.<br /> <br /> This example is a patent for a hammock with a fine weave and nice tassels down the ends. I. E. Palmer was a Middleton CT manufacturer/dealer in hammocks - at least one firm catalog exists from 1907. <br /> <br /> DESIGN PATENTS: what they are how long they last and records management<br /> <br /> Design patents "protect the way an article looks." Historically important they verify new design innovations document changing cultural tastes and establish valuable competitive business advantages. New patents preserve for the stated term the inventor's sole ownership and use of the design.<br /> <br /> The US Patent Office USPTO calls “the drawing disclosure . the most important element of the application.As the drawing or photograph constitutes the entire visual disclosure of the claim it is of utmost importance that the drawing or photograph be clear and complete that nothing regarding the design sought to be patented is left to conjecture†<br /> <br /> To obtain a Design patent inventors submit an original black pen and ink drawing and a description of the innovation to the USPTO typically with the assistance of a patent lawyer familiar with the process. The USPTO assigns the new application a "serial number" and "application date." USPTO patent examiners then vet the application to ensure it is unique and not already protected often with additional communication between the USPTO the inventor and their legal representation. This process can take months if not years. Only if determined to be a new invention will the USPTO issue the inventor a Design Patent number and patent date.<br /> <br /> During the active term of the design patent the USPTO retains the inventor's application and drawings for use in patent dispute cases and other inquiries. After the term of the patent the USPTO may discard or return the materials if no longer relevant to their core mission. Today most issued patents are digitized for preservation. Older paper records and patent models have been periodically discarded most often with little fanfare and to address space or fiscal management issues. Self-published unknown
