How do you get a patent for a "floating data center"..

  Who has jurisdiction?

  Submit it to USPTO and other national or trans-national (e.g. EU) patent registries like any other patent. This one's included in the article: https://www.google.com/patents/US7525207 https://www.google.com/patents/US7525207

    Satire aside. My point was the ridiculousness of it. What's next, patents covering putting data centers in space, under the sea or under stairs etc..

      This is precisely how Feynman got the patents on the nuclear submarine and the nuclear airplane.

      Looks like the patent disclosure refers extensively to challenges and opportunities of the maritime environment - power generation, heating and cooling, etc.

      There's a Chinese patent on putting a data center in space [0], and a US patent for a partially submerged data center [1], but I can't find anything for putting a data center under the stairs... you should patent it!
