⚙️ Notable Inventions / Registrations on december 1
Scrabble (Board Game)
The game Scrabble was copyright-registered on december 1, 1948.
While not “invented” that day, that registration marks an important legal milestone.
Soilless Plant culture (Patent)
According to patent-history records, E.W. Brundin & F.F. Lyon obtained a patent on december 1, 1936, for a method of “soilless culture of plants” (hydroponics-type innovation).
Atlantic Offshore wind Farm Sites (Science / Energy)
On december 1, 2012, the U.S. government announced a major plan to offer Atlantic coastal sites for offshore wind‐farm development.
This can be considered a policy milestone rather than a pure “invention,” but it’s significant for renewable energy.
Chang’e 3 Lunar Rover Mission (Space Science)
On december 1, 2013, China launched the Chang’e-3 mission, which carried a lunar rover (Yutu) to the Moon.
This is more of a space mission launch than an “invention,” but it’s a major scientific event.

- But there are important patents and registrations: e.g., Scrabble’s copyright, hydroponics-related patent.
- Also, december 1 marks some science and energy milestones (wind farm plan, lunar mission).
