Oh really?
Wikipedia doesn't think
so
"In 500 BC, in the Greek city of Sybaris (located in what is
now southern Italy), "encouragement was held out to all who should discover any
new refinement in luxury, the profits arising from which were secured to the
inventor by patent for the space of a year."..."
Not everything in
the history of the world was invented in the good old USA. :-)--- All
right now, baby it's all right now. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Wow. Feeding misinformation with misinformation.
Patents existed *long* before the formation of the United States of America,
much less the Congress which drafted the Constitution.
Back in pre-American Great Britain, patents were issued by the Crown. (And they
weren't even anything new back then, either.)[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
