The spelling breveté is the correct and official French form, and is the older spelling. The form brevette is simply the feminine agreement of the past participle, or a common anglicized misspelling found on antique items.


Etymology and Usage

    •    Breveté: This is the masculine singular form of the past participle of the verb breveter (to patent). It is the standard spelling used in French for "patented" or "certified" (e.g., un produit breveté, a patented product). It is also used as a noun meaning a certificate or diploma, or historically a military rank.
    •    Brevette: This spelling is the feminine singular form, used when modifying a feminine noun (e.g., une invention brevetée, a patented invention). It is also frequently found as a general, often incorrect, spelling on antique items from various countries, leading to its perception as an alternative form in English-speaking collecting communities.
