Do you need to demonstrate any kind of working model in order to patent something? As far as I'm aware, you don't. I look at this as an aspirational patent - frankly, exactly the kind of thing you'd see from a company with so much money they can spend all day dreaming.
- angersock 11y agoIt's worse than that...these folks (or whoever inherits the patent) can now sue anybody that actually can get it working. This is a great example of patents being bullshit.
- ant6n 11y agoOr by the time this actually is possible, the patents will have expired.
- danieltillett 11y agoYes the good old days where you actually had to show the patent office a physical working model which cutout alot of these pie-in-the-sky patents.
