American patent agent Munn & Co. was recorded as being at address 361 Broadway, New York, N.Y., with registration number 77.[1] In 1865 the company's address was 37 Park Row.[2]
Munn & Co. published Scientific American magazine from the 1850s or earlier.[3] Key people were Orson Desaix Munn and Alfred Ely Beach, involved in something called the U.S. Patent Agency and in cross-over promotion of patents using the magazine.[4]
An example of crossover: Munn & Co. filed Patent US-1892-502168 and then shortly thereafter published "[Publication 1473, 1892, Battey's aerial ship A New Air Ship]" highlighting this invention and noting that a patent had been filed. (This patent was also international filings, with known patent agents in England and France; one wonders if these agencies had special relationships with Munn.)
The company also published books about patents, inventions, science, etc., including:
- Munn & Co, 1860, Patent laws of the United States ([2])
- Munn & Co., 1865, The United States Patent Law ([3]) (1871)
- Byrn, 1900, The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century ([4])
- Cresee, 1902, Practical Pointers for Patentees ([5])
- Munn, 1915, Trade Marks, Trade Names and Unfair Competition in Trade ([6])
- Hopkins, 1917, Our Country and its Resources ([7])
More is on en.wp under the name Orson Munn.[5]

A Washington, D.C., branch was added in 1859. By 1900 more than 100,000 inventions had been patented thanks to Scientific American."
