PRIOR ARTOffice of Memetic Patents

Nothing on pump.fun is new.
We check.

Every launch is a patent application. The office examines each one, live, against 57,909 coins that graduated since January 2024 and every launch filed since we opened. New ideas are allowed. Copies are rejected. Graduates are issued a numbered patent, and every vamp after that is entered against it as a citation.

    The statutes

    §101 · Abstract idea

    Names with nothing in them: "test", single characters, bare numbers.

    §102 · Anticipation

    The exact name already graduated. The oldest graduate is cited, along with the size of its family.

    §103 · Obviousness

    Baby X, X 2.0, Official X on Sol. Also a one-letter change to a graduated name, or a graduated ticker on a new name.

    Interference

    Two applicants file the same idea within an hour. The first filer is the senior party; later filers are junior parties.

    Double patenting

    The same wallet files the same name again.

    Issue

    A coin that completes its bonding curve is issued a numbered patent. If the examiner had rejected it, the patent is marked overruled by the market.

    Roadmap not live yet

    1. Licensing. Launch a derivative through the office and pump.fun fee sharing sends a royalty to the patent holder's creator.
    2. The patent pool. $PRIORART holders share a cut of every licence.
    3. Image examination. Logo-level prior art (the same picture under a new name).

    PRIOR ART is satire and a data toy. It is not a government agency, it is not legal advice, and it is not affiliated with pump.fun or any patent office. "Patents" here are rankings computed from public on-chain data. Corpus: pump.fun coins that graduated from Jan 2024 to Aug 2026, plus every launch and graduation seen live since this office opened.
