What is the patent number of the reflecting telescope?

The reflecting telescope was invented by Sir Isaac Newton in the early 1600s. This was before there was a patent office, and no patent exists on the reflecting telescope as such. The Dobsonian mount is a popular alt azimuth mount for reflecting telescopes, created by John Dobson in the 1960s. He apparently never applied for a patent for this.


Who invented the telescope?

The earliest evidence of telescopes were refracting telescopes from the Netherlands in 1608. Their development is credited to three individuals: Hans Lippershey and Zacharias Janssen, who were spectacle makers in Middelburg, and Jacob Metius of Alkmaar.Hans Lippershey invented the telescope, sometime before 1608 A.D. (which is the earliest record of him applying for a patent). Jacob Metius applied for a similar patent only a few weeks later.Galileo greatly improved upon these designs the following year, using improved optics. He did not invent the telescope, but he was both the first person to use it and also improve the telescope. It was the astronomical observations recorded by Galileo in 1610 (including the discovery that Jupiter has moons of its own) that is most closely associated with the first use of the telescope.


How did Galileo support this theory after he invented the telescope?

Although Galileo's telescope was the first to be used for astronomical purposes, he didn't invent the telescope. A man named Hans Lipperhey invented the telescope. Many people claimed to have invented the telescope however Hans Lipperhey was the only one to apply for a patent.


How long did it take to make the first telescope?

it took him 12 years to make the telescope.


What is an artificial telescope?

an artificial telescope is a telescope that is man made by people from NASA or anyone who can make a telescope

telescopeHe did not invent the telescope. He held a patent (Oct 1899) on improvements to the bicycle frame, specifically to allow it to come apart for storage. I do not know if he held any patents for improvements to the telescope.


Did Barnard invent the telescope?

No. Jacob Metius submitted the first patent for a telescope in October 1608 but was not granted one. Galileo became famous in the next year for designing higher powered telescopes. He also discovered the moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn.

Did isaac newton invented the telescoped?

Neither Newton nor Galileo invented the telescope. It was developed independently by various dutch optics makers (Lippershey submitted the first patent). Galileo's first telescope was dutch-made, and he made useful improvements to the initial retractor design. Newton did invent the reflecting telescope (the particular design is now called a Newtonian Telescope). Further improvements to the reflector design were made by Cassegrain and others made improvements to the manufacturing process, greatly improving the mirror quality. A refracting telescope uses a lens as the main objective, while a reflecting telescope uses a mirror. The objective is the component that focuses the light. Reflector telescopes are the most common nowadays, as they do not suffer from chromatic aberration (light splitting due to refraction) and can be built in very large diameters. --- Galileo improved the refracting telescope, but Newton invented the reflecting telescope.


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.

Is there any training on how to get a patent from the patent office?

There are not training offered from the patent office on getting a patent. The patent office advises you to seek guidance from a trademark/patent attorney. A good attorney is highly suggested by the patent office. As a convenience, they have a roster of local Patent Attorneys.
