Rhodes chief1 position Chief Clerk chief2 name chief2 position parent agency child1 agency website footnotes The Confederate PatentOffice was the agency of the Confederate States of America charged with issuing patent s on invention s. The Chief Clerk during its entire existence was Rufus R. Rhodes of Mississippi who resigned his post at the United States PatentOffice after the election of Abraham Lincoln . The Confederate PatentOffice is known to have issued 266 patents, and likely it issued some more during the early months of 1865 . Unfortunately, the records it contained were destroyed in a fire. Very few patent documents issued by the CPO, likely fewer than 10, are known to survive. The first patent was issued to James H. Van Houten of Savannah, Georgia on August 1, 1861 for a breech loading gun . One of the more well known Confederate patents at least based on the results was Patent No. 100, granted to John Mercer Brooke for the design of the Confederate ironclad ship USS Merrimack 1855 Merrimack , more properly known as the CSS Virginia CSS Virginia .
