Notes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Patent origin is determined by the residence of the first-named           2021-03-19   2021-05-21 
inventor. Patents granted are further broken down by utility, plant,  
design, and reissue patents.                                          
                                                                      
Utility patents are patents for invention.                            
                                                                      
A plant patent is granted by the United States government to an       
inventor (or the inventor's heirs or assigns) who has invented or     
discovered and asexually reproduced a distinct and new variety of     
plant, other than a tuber propagated plant or a plant found in an     
uncultivated state.                                                   
                                                                      
A design consists of the visual ornamental characteristics embodied   
in, or applied to, an article of manufacture. Since a design is       
manifested in appearance, the subject matter of a design patent       
application may relate to the configuration or shape of an article, to
the surface ornamentation applied to an article, or to the combination
of configuration and surface ornamentation. A design for surface      
ornamentation is inseparable from the article to which it is applied  
and cannot exist alone. It must be a definite pattern of surface      
ornamentation, applied to an article of manufacture.                  
                                                                      
A reissue application is filed to correct an error in the patent,     
where, as a result of the error, the patent is deemed wholly or partly
inoperative or invalid. An error in the patent arises out of an error 
in conduct which was made in the preparation and/or prosecution of the
application which became the patent.
