Comment on The best patent ever

Comments

The Slashdot joke "I patented the act of patent trolling" ceased to be funny a decade ago.

Actually trying it makes it funny again.

And succeeding really makes it a thigh-slapper.

You can apply for a patent on anything you can put into text. The barrier for printing the application (A1 docs) is exceedingly low. Indeed for a time in the UK you could apply for free IIRC, not anymore.
