A "land patent" is another word for deed (or grant) of real estate from a government (e.g., the U.S. federal government) and represents "absolute title" from the sovereign. It is a special form of letters patent, meaning open declaration (as opposed to private correspondence with the government).

Land patents are obtained as any other deed for real estate, with the only difference being that the grantor is the "original" owner of the land. Copies are recorded in the same manner as deeds, and older ones (such as carving states out of the Louisiana Purchase) can be found in the archives.

How do you patent property?

You cant patent real property, like land. You patent "things" or inventions, not actual, real property. Those are deeds.

A land patent is an original grant of land from the government that claims sovereignty over that land. Think of the large land grants executed by the King of England during the colonial times. Those could be called land patents. The term is also used in other countries. The United States government granted huge land patents in its early days, some covering area of millions of acres.
