Our bosses would determine if it should be sent off for special review. We got rid of it maybe 5 years ago because we wasted tons of manhours and only a few per year would actually get secreted. I'm not sure the current process, but I know a lot of them are patents that the military file. If it looks like its about to be a well known thing (if the cat can't be put back in the bag) they lift the order, we grant the patent and they can monetize it for the remainder of the term.

    All classified information automatically declassifies after 25 years, with the exception of nuclear information and data granted a special exception. The exceptions are generally for things like a report that would reveal the identity of a spy that is still living, which could risk their safety. Even in those cases, the information can often be released after being redacted.

    @@IAMschizoaffective The Department of Energy controls the classification of nuclear information. The stuff that's classified is almost entirely about nuclear materials refinement and constructing nuclear weapons, because the goal is to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weaponry. A lot of it is not classified, just export-controlled. For example, we might readily share some information about refinement to friendly nations so they can use it for nuclear power. Of course, the US is also not the only source of some of this information. Plenty of countries have figured out what they need to know independently. Some of them may publish it openly. And then, information gets leaked from both the US and other countries. But if you ask someone with a clearance whether or not it's accurate, they'll simply say that they can neither confirm nor deny its accuracy (or say "I don't know", which is probably true).

    I feel like accountability would be improved if the name/purpose of the invention was still required to be public. Maybe censor the inventor so they're not at risk of being kidnapped, but knowing that someone patented the design of a certain weapon doesn't tell you how to make it. It also doesn't mean it's gonna be in the US arsenal. Your invention doesn't have to be functional to be patented, you just have to be first. For all we know "classified weapon" could explode on use.

    So generally speaking, one of the main reasons to patent an idea is so you can show the idea to potential investors and have a reasonable expectation that you can protect yourself from the theft of your intellectual property. That's the main reason for my patents, anyway. I'd be pretty angry if I went through the trouble and expense to get a patent on something only to be told by the government that I've got the patent but I can't show my idea to anyone. I understand that the intent is to protect weapons secrets so other governments can't benefit from the research done on things like the Manhattan Project (there were patents involved), but i don't think it's okay to trust the government to tell me that my solar panels can't be produced because I can't show potential investors how they work.

    There's an easy work-around for inventors: Simply publish the details of your invention before applying for the patent. Inventors are allowed to publicly discuss an idea for a year prior to getting the patent, and in doing so there would be no point to try and classify the patent after the fact.

    My First Patent "Thingy" This is my cool gun I made it out of metal and plastic and plutonium it is not a regular gun with foam fins on it. First you make a regular gun then you take the bullets out and pour in your untonium and your powder. Next you wrap it in tinfoil and bake it at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. The you put a toothpick in and ifmetal comes off on it you know it's not done yet so bake it for another 5minutes as needed. They make your roux. Combine water eggs and coffee o make the perfect roux and then mike that together in a blender. then u give it to your nextdoor neighbour to put in his chest freezer for two weeks becaus it's just betterthan a regular one. Then it wil be cooked so at that point t's timefor the egg wash. After mixing together 4 eegs you cn start to brush it on the metal. Bake it again at 40 for 40 minutes, and you shouldt that pointbe able to attach the fins which will make it shoot better. The fins are mad of carbon fiber andfabricated in my studio here in new mexico, and canno be made in a on-sterile environment due to their cool shape.

    If you have invented something and are worried about the USPTO slapping a secrecy order on it, a good way to go might be to file for a patent in some other jurisdiction first (maybe file for a European patent or something) then once that's granted, file for a US patent. The EU patent is already public so it will be impossible to keep things secret.
