Comments?

Quote

Models or exhibits are not required in most patent applications since the description of the invention in the specification and the drawings must be sufficiently full, clear, and complete and capable of being understood to disclose the invention without the aid of a model.

A working model, or other physical exhibit, may be required by the Office if deemed necessary. This is not done very often. A working model may be requested in the case of applications for patent for alleged perpetual motion devices.

When the invention relates to a composition of matter, the applicant may be required to furnish specimens of the composition, or of its ingredients or intermediates, for inspection or experiment. If the invention is a microbiological invention, a deposit of the micro-organism involved is required.

I have a feeling this guy just happened to get a patent examiner with a sense of humor :)

Simply because you seem to be able to patent everything, even something that does not exist :>

I know its gonna be way overpriced when it first comes out, but I think it will be worth it to go floating around and stuff (that is, if all the carnival rides and airlines and elevator companies don't scarf them all up) :eek:
