The 1836 U.S. Patent Office fire was the first of two major fires the U.S. Patent Office has had in its history. It occurred in Blodget's Hotel building, Washington on December 15, 1836. An initial investigation considered the possibility of arson due to suspected corruption in the Post Office, which shared the same building, but it was later ruled out. The cause was ultimately determined to be accidental. The fire is considered to be a unique point in the historical events of the Patent Office that caused policy changes.

dbo:abstract
  • The 1836 U.S. Patent Office fire was the first of two major fires the U.S. Patent Office has had in its history. It occurred in Blodget's Hotel building, Washington on December 15, 1836. An initial investigation considered the possibility of arson due to suspected corruption in the Post Office, which shared the same building, but it was later ruled out. The cause was ultimately determined to be accidental. The fire is considered to be a unique point in the historical events of the Patent Office that caused policy changes. Local fire suppression efforts were incapable of preventing the damage due to lack of fire personnel and proper equipment. Many patent documents and models from the preceding three decades were irretrievably lost. As a result of the fire, Congress and the newly legally revamped Patent Office changed the way it handled its record keeping, assigning numbers to patents and requiring multiple copies of supporting documentation.

  • 1836年12月15日,位於華盛頓特區布拉吉飯店的美國專利局發生火災。此為美國專利局歷史上兩場重大火災之一,後來被稱為1836年美國專利局火災。由於缺乏消防人員和相關設備,火勢無法控制,導致專利局損失過去三年的專利文件和模型。事後,調查人員初步懷疑火災是位處同一大樓的美國郵局職員為了湮滅貪污證據而縱火,但後來排除了這種可能性。最終,調查人員確定這場火災是一場意外。後來,美國國會和新改組的專利局改變了其記錄保存的方式,並為專利做出編號並要求提供備份文件。這場火災同時被認為是導致專利局政策出現變化的轉捩點。 (zh)
