Inventions entering
the public domain

513699 US patents are about to expire — and the next one Isabella Gilbert wrote is probably in here. Public domain means anyone can manufacture and sell. The next Dimple Maker. The next viral $15-on-Etsy product.

Three landmines. Three checks per pick.

Running these three checks before you manufacture is the moat — our biggest unfair advantage over every other "expired patent" list on the internet. Automated verification is shipping now via the USPTO Open Data Portal; once a pick goes through the guardrails it is marked VERIFIED, NEEDS REVIEW, or DO NOT TOUCH. Until then, every pick links you straight to the USPTO databases you can run by hand.

01

Is the patent actually expired?

Utility = 20y from filing, design = 14y from grant. But a continuation-in-part or reissue on a modern variant might still be active. Maintenance fees that lapsed also kill enforceability.

⚠ check via USPTO PAIR
02

Is the brand still trademarked?

Trademarks last forever. The patent on the original Hula Hoop expired decades ago — but Hula Hoop is still a registered Wham-O trademark. Sell the toy under any other name.

⚠ check via USPTO TSDR API
03

Is there an active design-patent variant?

Lululemon vs Costco (2025) — design-patent enforcement on modern variants is escalating. A 2018 design patent on the same product family can trigger TROs + frozen accounts.

⚠ check via USPTO design-patent search

In 1937, Isabella Gilbert patented a beauty machine.

Her dimple maker — two metal arms with marble nubs — was supposed to create dimples by pinching cheeks. The American Medical Association hated it. Her patent expired sixty-four years ago.

Today: 60M+ TikTok views. $15 on Etsy. Manufacturing cost in Yiwu: under $2.

This is the playbook. Find an expired patent. Manufacture cheaply. Sell on TikTok Shop. The product itself is the marketing.
