today I want to talk about the first patent issued by the United States what’s interesting about it isn’t what the invention is which is kind of fertilizer what’s interesting is that it is literally signed by the president of the United States and the Attorney General back then patents were issued by a committee comprised secretary of state of the United States the Attorney General of the United States and the president back then the founding fathers of the US had a really good understanding of the importance of technology and Innovation to their very young country and man that has stood the test of time I wish that they weren’t weakening the patent system now because the vision of the founding fathers was really correct Innovation is progress and the United States should lead the world in progress but seems to be giving it up in the face of pressure for big Tech so that’s why a really quick message for the day back then it really mattered it should still matter now catch you next time
