I was really bored, so I went to the US Patent Office site and searched for patent no. 1. I found this:

http://patimg1.uspto.gov/.piw?docid=US0000...N/1%2526RS=PN/1

It has scanned images of four papers. The patent is for the locomotive steam-engine. On the second page, it says that the date is 1830!

Wow, that's neat. :axeman: I've always wondered what was the first one.

Is #1 the first patent given or submitted? Or is it both?

I think it's the first patent given.
