Summary

Photo of U.S. Patent 2,988,237 certificate taken at home of George C. Devol in June 2006 by grandson William Wardlow. The patent for "Programmed Article Transfer" was issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office on June 13, 1961.

Licensing

Public domain The text and illustrations of US patents published before March 1, 1989 are in the public domain unless the patent text contains a specific notice that portions are copyrighted. See 37 CFR 1.71(d), 37 CFR 1.84(s)

The original patent contains no such notice, so its contents are in the public domain. Note: This only applies to images published before March 1, 1989. Patents published after that date are most likely copyrighted, unless in the public domain for another reason, such as {{PD-ineligible}}.
