Patents

This would be something that I, a daughter of a Patent Attorney would laugh at. I think you all will too though. :-)

I went to the Patent Office trying to register some of my inventions. I went to the main desk to sign in and the lady at the desk had a form that had to be filled out. She wrote down my personal info and then asked me what I had invented. I said, “A folding bottle.”

She said, “Okay, what do you call it?”

“A Fottle,” I said.

“What else do you have?”, she asked.

“A folding carton.”

“What do you call it?”

“A Farton.”, I replied

She sniggered and said, “Those are silly names for products and one of them sounds kind of crude.”

I was so upset by her comment that I grabbed the form and left the office without even telling her about my folding bucket.

    PATENT REFORM NOW

    Right now, the U.S. Patent sytem is constantly abused by corporations hoping to make a profit. They will resort to patenting ANYTHING to cut off the competition. The purpose of the patent system was to prevent people from STEALING other people’s work. Sadly, this power has been abused, and now patents are even placed on SOFTWARE. We must fight this at all costs. RESIST.

    I’m finished with American politics. Doing work for the FSF might not be bad, though.
