Value depends on the actual model and condition. I have seen this at shows and online for anywhere from $250 to $500. Most of them, like my father's model 12C, are kept for their sentimental value, rather than as a valuable antique firearm. But as I remember, the Model 12 was an accurate, dependable rifle. I used my father's 12C to dispatch a lot of small game back in the 1960's.
This firearm was introduced in 1909 and the last one, a model 12C was produced in 1929. Remington can actually tell you the approximate date of manufacture of yours based on the serial number.
Actually, Remington made the Model 12 until 1936 after which it was replaced by the Model 121.
Actually (from a different person ;) If you list a serial number I can tell you when it was made if it's after 572,000 or so it's 1921 and later and there will also be a date barrel code stamped on the left side of the barrel, which you can lookup (or list here) and it will give month as well as year. If a 12 is in excellent to mint condition depending on the grade in can bring 12-1,500 new in the box.
When was the drinking straw patented?
The modern drinking straw was patented on 3 December 1888 by Marvin Chester Stone.
A design patent is good for how long?
In general, a patent can be maintained for 20 years from the date of its first priority filing. In some pharmaceutical cases delayed by the FDA, the date can be extended somewhat.
However, a patent filed in the USA prior to June 1995 may lapse 17 years after date of ISSUE (not filing) or 20 years after date of filing, whichever is later.
Patents may also lapse because of non-payment of required maintenance fees, which vary by country.
Furthermore, a patent may be ruled completely or partially invalid for any number of reasons, making its protection questionable from that date on.
Finally, if a patent is never issued (for one reason or another) or is never filed, or is filed improperly, then it does not protect the invention at all.
On a related note: plant patents and design patents (and the like) are generally limited to much shorter periods of protection.
What US inventor holds the record for the most patents?
Thomas Edison. He invented over 2,000 things.

The book I have lists: V.G. Good Fair Poor $3500 2500 1000 500 You will want to have it appraised by an advanced collector. Don't clean it before you show it.
How many patents had Thomas Edison made when he died?
1093! - The largest number held by any one person at that time.
Today, there are dozens of companies that get more than that number of patents issued in the USA in a single year.
Many of Edison' patents were invalid because he stole the ideas, including all of his so-called "light bulb patents", which were stripped by the patent office in 1893.
That patent date was used by J. Stevens Arms and Tool Co, but I can't find 376 listed as a Stevens or Savage model number. Could have been made for a hardware store or mail order business and marked with the model number requested by the retailer.
What is copyright designs and patents act?
This act ensures that things such as literacy, photographs, artists creations, engravements, dramatic and musical works cannot be copied. The law is also carried out when it comes to computers as it is illegal to copy software or run pirated software. Everything here mentioned, however, can be claimed as someone elses when the original owner has been dead for a certain amount of years. It is usually after 70 years it can be claimed but in some cases where they don't know who the creator is it can be claimed 50 years after it was first made public.
Can something be both copyrighted and patented?
A product will more likely be protected by one or more patents, and the product name, trade dress, logo, and/or slogan would be protected as trademarks.

For example, books, music, magazines, fine arts, and more may be considered products, and those would indeed be copyrightable.

How much is earned from a patent?
If by "register a patent" you mean "have a patent issued", the costs vary widely. Elements of the cost include: #complexity of the invention #what type of invention it is #how broad or narrow is the field of invention #whether the field is crowded or you're a pioneer #number of countries where protection is desired #how many rejections are received during handling #other procedural nightmares (interferences, etc) #how many patents you get issued from one application #how long you intend to enforce them One of the more expensive things is drafting the application, and it must be done carefully and professionally.

You must do this for each country in which you desire patent protection. This usually takes two or three years, and often longer.
