IIRC this was a joke patent that they put forward just to see what they could get away with.

- gojko 14y agohow about this one as well http://www.google.co.uk/patents/US6004596 http://www.google.co.uk/patents/US6004596
- smoyer 14y agoOr maybe not so much a joke as an absurdity used to prove a point? I actually wish there were more patents like this as it would lead to tighter examination. I also don't think it's an accident that the inventor and filing attorney have the same last name. It's hard to justify the cost of doing this unless you can get the lawyer for free. It's not the filing fees that are expensive so much as the rest of the process.
