So, for plant patents, the USPTO typically requires you to have a plant killed to submit the information on dead plant substrate?https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USPTO/bulletins/28a2a5d …

Lol - they accept/prefer most everything electronically via EFS. For genes
they like a “Sequence Listing” document https://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/mpep/s2422.html …
That's wild. IMHO (very humble), I feel like the submission of a prototype for certain small mechanical inventions would be very helpful.

For simple things I think a prototype may not be much better than the “constructive reduction to practice” on paper. I think for computer implemented inventions ad other more complex and potentially “abstract” things prototypes or code would be helpful to clarify the invention.

Very cool. We filed a patent app recently and the office action is not as good as I hope, I'll be tempted to send in the invention. It speaks much louder in person than on paper.

The USPTO used to require mini models to be submitted (“The models did not have to actually work, but often they did.”) https://invention.si.edu/patent-models-and-prototypes-display … Today, for “impossible” inventions (eg perpetual motion) the USPTO requires a working prototype. Otherwise it will get rejected. 1/2
