The Patent Office will give you a patent for anything. If they turn you down, just keep appealing, that’s how most of these patents happen. The USPTO is a joke.

- underseacables 5y agoQuite Right. Forgive me I was recalling my younger days working at a patent law firm in DC. The attorneys would joke that if a patent examiner turned down your application, you would basically bully them into changing it. If that didn’t work you could just file endless appeals until they eventually said yes.
