Crazy Patents
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
On my drive home, I caught this unusual news coverage about “Crazy Patents”. That’s right, patents that are obvious (and obviously stupid) are listed on Free Patents Online.com under the Crazy section, take a look!
The one patent that particularly caught my attention was #7062320, a “Device for the treatment of hiccups” that appears to be a glass that shocks you when you drink from it!
If you thought that was bad, there is more, read this patents claims. Scroll down to claim number 9 and you will find out that it was just include to find out if the inventor “actually read their own claims”, of course, he didn’t.
Un-f*****g believable.

LOL! That’s fantastic - leaving a rubbish claim in, to see if the inventor actually reads through it before signing it off! Superb…
