Doh! I knew that. Not sure why it just didn't hit me when writing my
last post! Question, though. You stated "No longer true." Was it
possible for a Crown to grant a "naked Patent" at one time? Does
anyone know why this might have been revoked?

And beyond all of that, I still wonder what others might think of the
use of a naked Patent. Would that be an acceptable method, if such a
thing were to be allowed, to recognize those considered as Peers who
do not otherwise fit nicely into the current Patent bestowing Orders?
