  "The principal object of my invention is to provide a rigid biplane wing structure so arranged as to improve the vision of the pilot, and at the same time to incorporate within the structure the most desirable aerodynamic characteristics."

The Patent Act of 1790 established the rules for submitting a patent application; each patent application had to be submitted with specifications, a patent drawing, and, if possible, a model of the invention. Eventually, models were no longer required. The Patent Act aimed to encourage innovation and industrial progress and served to protect inventors’ rights as new technologies were developed.

There are currently over four and a half million patent case files and associated records held by the National Archives.
