FAQ

When did Robert Fulton invent the steamboat? Robert Fulton invented the steamboat, called the Clermont, in 1807. He was not the first to attempt to create the steamboat, and however, Fulton's steamboat was the first viable design for commercial trade and travel.

A patent is considered personal property of the inventor. Once the inventor is granted a patent, she may transfer her patent rights to another. For example, a research company may employ a scientist who invents a new medical device.

Fulton obtained a patent for his steamboat (granted in just 42 days!) in 1809, with a second the next year for improvements thereof. More importantly, the state of New York granted him an exclusive right to steamboat transport on the Hudson River.

Robert Fulton designed and operated the world's first commercially successful steamboat. Fulton's Clermont made its historic first run in August 1807 on the Hudson River.

On August 26, 1791, John Fitch and James Rumsey, rivals battling over claims to the invention, were each granted a federal patent for the steamboat.

Franklin was also an avid inventor, though he never patented any of his inventions. His reasoning is stated in his autobiography: That, as we enjoy great advantages from the inventions of others, we should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours; and this we should do freely and generously.

Fulton received two patents for his steamboat, one in 1809 and the other in 1811. From 1811 until his death, Fulton was a member of the Erie Canal Commission, appointed by the Governor of New York.

The five primary requirements for patentability are: (1) patentable subject matter; (2) utility; (3) novelty; (4) non-obviousness; and (5) enablement. Like trademarks, patents are territorial, meaning they are enforceable in a specific geographic area.
