The patent examination process is not well understood by most people. Once a patent is received, the patent examiner carefully places the application into a room full of other patent applications. Then kittens are released into the room with PATENT GRANTED stamps affixed to their feet. The kittens are then returned to their holding area to await the next round of patent examination. The patent examiners collect the applications from the floor and look to see which patent applications were granted.
