You Owe Royalties

January 1st, 2005

No seriously.. thanks to the wonderful invention of the Patent, if you’ve ever done one of the following tasks, you owe the patent holder royalties:

• licked a postage stamp

• swung sideways on a playground swing

• compared 2 numbers to see if they are “not equal”

• Used a stick as a dog toy.

• used a laser pointer to entertain or exercise a cat (4 patents relating to this)

• Made a webpage with a form on it.

• sent a smiley face over a wireless device

Anybody else know of any crazy patents?
