Patent ?????
OK here's another worldwide problem with these stupid (IMHO) patents.
This is not an invention, it is process.

http://news.cnet.com/8301-27076_3-20001460-248.html?tag=nl.e776

I understand them patenting it just in case someone else does and sues them back but it shouldn't be patentable.
And more energy wasted.

Great idea for seller and buyer, but why does this rate a patent?
(what a waste of time and tax $$$)

New patent idea: "Make coffee and toast waffles at the same time ... and call it Breakfast!"

New Patent idea.
Video you making coffee toast and waffles, then charge you royalties for your own breakfast.

I was gonna say I'll patent "Rightie Tightie" and get a royalty everytime somebody tightens a bolt or screw.

I'll leave "Leftie Loosie" for someone else.

I thought that we'd be able to keep politics out of this thread.

How about the folks getting patents issued for "tax strategies".

Question: Is cheating a tax strategy?

http://fulcrum.com/tax_strategy_patents.htm

Here's one on real estate swaps for Hattie.

Got that?
