How can this get a patent today?

• deckar01 7y ago
  It's easy: You submit a bullshit patent application, wait to find out what criteria it was rejected for, add more meaningless technical bullshit related to that topic, then repeat the process until the patent office feels they have extracted enough fees from you. You are now free to sue companies for using technology that sounds like your patent.

    One of the movies the South Park guys made used this technique to get an R rating out of some gratuitously NC 17 movie. They included some over the top 20 minute graphic sex scene and they cut and cut and cut until there was nothing left but a short gross sex scene and the "regular" movie.
