The U.S. Patent and Trademark<\/a> Office (USPTO) has officially handed out its eight millionth patent, it has been reported.<\/p>\n

According to the Washington Post, patent number 8,000,000 was handed out to Second Sight Medical Products, a company which helps people with poor eyesight.<\/p>\n

The firm has been granted permission to develop a device called a \u201cvisual prosthesis apparatus\u201d, which is designed to improve visual perception for people with outer retinal degeneration.<\/p>\n

A special ceremony was staged at the Department of Commerce, which operates the USPTO, to celebrate the landmark.<\/p>\n

The official patent number one was issued in 1836, when the courts started to keep full records.<\/p>\n

However, the first patent issued in the U.S. went to Samuel Hopkins on July 31, 1790 for his process of making fertilizer ingredient potash.<\/p>\n

Patent number 1,000,000 was registered in 1911, with the seven millionth patent coming just five years ago in 2006.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
