Re: Packard Motor Car Co. - Patents

Your number flabbergasts me, my search found about 1736 U.S. Patents assigned to Packard Motor Car Company between 1900 and the formation of the Studebaker-Packard Corp., plus a few before that assigned to either the Ohio Co. or Hatcher or Packard as individuals. I did exclude design patents from my search. About 1400 of these were filed before WW II, not so much patentable innovation after the end of the 30s. A fair number of the patents, by Vincent and more so by the Woolsons, are aviation related and many by Vincent marine related.

I've been sitting on this data for a while, getting the mindset up to do another article for The Cormorant on Packard's patents - guess I better get started.
