No, you cannot put a patent in a will. Patents are intellectual property rights that can be assigned or licensed to others during the inventor's lifetime, but they cannot be passed on through a will. However, the inventor can specify who should receive any income or rights associated with the patent upon their death.

How old is a revolver with patent 51668?
A patent number will only tell you the EARLIEST date on which the device was manufactured, and the patent number could still be put on many years after the patent expired (although without any legal effect). For U.S. patents, go to USPTO.gov, click patent, search, and type in the number to find the image of the particular patent you're interested in (prior to 1976).
What does the term patent pending mean after you have applied?
The term patent pending informs the public that a person filed a patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for that particular item. The patent pending designation does not give the person any legal rights; it just means that the patent office will review their application. It does not guarantee that a patent will be awarded. It is a warning to potential competitors. Hopefully they won’t put the time and money into developing a product for which you may end up holding the patent.
Difference between patent and patent pending?
A patent is a grant from a patent office, such as the United States Patent Office. "Patent Pending" is a phrase that an application for a patent has been filed and is in some stage in the process of obtaining a patent. Thus, a patent can be presently enforced while a patent that is merely pending is unenforceable but can mature into a patent that can be enforced. Once the pending patent matures, the patent owner can sue for back damages or reasonable royalties starting from the filing date of the patent.
