Tal asked us for our last blog ever to just write about stupid patents. So I was very fortunate to find a list of 10 bizarre and stupid patents you wouldn't believe actually exist. Here are some of the best ones:
- Baby Patting Machine- This machine is exactly what it sounds like, it was invented to help babies sleep more peacefully by patting them on the bottom.
2. Electronic Snore Stopper- We actually went over this patent in class. Now while snoring is a common problem for a lot of people, this patent is not the way to solve it. Every time you snore a jolt of electricity is sent right into your neck.
3. A Firearm With a Whisky Glass Attached- Again this is a patent that sounds exactly like its name. I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to figure out why drinking and shooting aren't a good combination...
4. Toilet Lid Lock- This patent is originally from 1968 and places a lock on a toilet seat so no one can use the toilet. I am not sure the exact reason for this patent but it is interesting.
It is amazing that these patents exist. I don't imagine any infringing occurring on these.

I feel each and every one of these violate some sort of prior art, and our just implemented in a new way, but with the same age old idea. These are indeed very silly, and you are right, I don't imagine anyone infringing on any of these either!
