The Patend List

This is a (partial) list of patents that were assigned to the C.G. Conn company between 1876 and 1969. The "Category" column in the table below is my own addition to make it a bit easier to look things up. The "Date Filed" and "Date Granted" columns are in the format YYYY-MM-DD. The patent numbers are of the United States Patent Office (USPTO). This list is sorted by date the patent was filed. This means that the "date granted" and the patent numbers are sometimes out of sequence.
