| The current patent numbering system began with US Patent 0000001 being issued
on July 13, 1836. Prior to that date, 9,957 patents had been issued,
but these patents were not numbered. Among the most memorable
and well-known patents that have issued since that time are patents
related to mechanical inventions. For example, patents related
to Eli Whitney's cotton gin, Singer's sewing machine and Colt's
revolving breech pistol are the stuff of American folklore.
The attorneys of BSTZ are well versed in the technologies and the creations
of mechanical and other engineers and innovators. Rather than
looms and milling equipment, today those engaged in the mechanical
arts develop new and improved ways to remove heat from the smallest
and most complex integrated circuits ever fabricated, and even
design the very machines used to make those devices. At BSTZ we
recognize the significant contributions made by these individuals
and work to ensure that their ideas and innovations receive the
protection to which they are entitled.
