Hey Jow Forums, lets make a thread for patents that never really made the cut; I'll start with this
Patents

"Apparatus for facilitating the birth of a child by centrifugal force."
freepatentsonline.com
"Paddle wheel rotorcraft"
freepatentsonline.com
"Mouse device with a built-in printer"
freepatentsonline.com
"Device for moistening the adhesive coating on postage stamps and envelopes"

"Bird Diaper"
I don't like that the bird is making bedroom eyes in the figure.
There was a Hungarian tinkerer guy appearing on a late night talk show with a device just like this.
Holy shit, these are hilarious.
is that apple?

how the fuck can you patent how to swing on a swing? what the fuck is wrong with America?
>what the fuck is wrong with America?
Where do we start?
What exactly did the """""""inventor"""""" intend to do with this patent? How do you market, or even enforce a patent like this?
please return my sides

Behold, my revolutionary bird swing
but it fucking works tho
Patents can also cover methodology.
Shitty understanding of how patents work and why you'd use one. Even if I had a patent for all versions of folding phones, do you think that I would have any way to enforce Samsung and Huawei to pay up?
Not with separated paddles. It's like, layers of bad design.
excuse me sir can you tell me how my sides exited the solar system?
If you have a (valid) patent you have a legal right to enforce it.
Your way to enforce they pay up is by them participating in the local market. So they're concerned about court rulings.
It's like, the get rich quick scheme your great grandpa told your grandpa about.
"You'd better patent your idea, my old man got the idea for a radish picker stolen from right under him! The guy that stole it is a millionaire now!"
A civil court case
"Method of exercising a cat"
This is what patent trolls do, though.
I'm dying at the idea of the baby coming out at comical speeds.
>Ready? 1, 2, 3 VWOOOF *splat*
The machine malfunctions and the baby is thrown out of the womb at 50 km/h and gets diced by the vagina net
this is some fucking zodiak killer shit
You are asking to be sued.
I'm afraid this one made the cut. These are good when you want to take your parrot outside. They get startled easy. When they get startled they fly off where they can get in to all kinds of problems. Catching poop is a happy accident.
Centrifugal force.
It's coming.
someone patent this
Using centrifugal force to harvest chicken eggs. Put the chickens on swings and just spin them around as the eggs pop out in all directions
It'd be like that scene from The Last Starfighter.
