IPKAT PATENT OF THE MONTH: STRANGE FRUIT


Ever think the patent system was completely bananas? Well then, this month’s IPKat Patent of the Month (courtesy of totallyabsurd.com) is for you. The “banana protective device” will spare your valuables from foul-smelling sticky yellow deposits and will ensure that you have a healthy and delicious mid-afternoon snack. The mechanism is simple. The banana is encased in a double-layered case. The inside of the case is cushioned to avoid unsightly bruising and the whole thing fastens with a clever little latch for your security and piece of mind.

Mmmm…bananas

The IPKat is sure that purchasers of this device will get years of fruitful use from it.

Go bananas here, here, here and here

No comments:

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
