04 lut Patentowy kalendarz adwentowy 2020
Pomimo wszystkich „niespodzianek” jakie sprezentował nam rok 2020 udało nam się kolejny raz przedstawić patentowy kalendarz adwentowy. Dlatego też chcielibyśmy chociaż na chwilę powrócić do świątecznej atmosfery przez podsumowanie tego projektu. Dla każdego wynalazku zaprezentowaliśmy pełną treść ochrony uzyskanej w wyniku patentu lub wnioskowanej przez zgłaszającego – zastrzeżenia patentowe.
Figurka z tańczącymi reniferami
Numerem jeden na naszej liście była ta urzekająca, świąteczna figurka:
Jednak język zastrzeżeń patentowych bywa już mniej „urzekający” – jest niemalże „brutalny”. Tytuł wynalazku US1068147 to Mechanical Toy, natomiast zastrzeżenie brzmi następująco:
1. In combination, a receptacle, a crank shaft ending in an operating handle carried by said receptacle, a supporting plate extending from one end of said receptacle, a rocker plate pivotally secured to said supporting plate, and a connecting rod extending from said crank to said rocker plate.
Warto dodać, że to jedno z najstarszych znalezisk w tegorocznym zestawieniu – zgłoszenie pochodzi z 1912 roku!
Patent US1068147 – Mechanical Toy
Skarbonka w kształcie Świętego Mikołaja
Jak wiadomo najlepsze prezenty to takie, które dajemy … sami sobie. Oczekiwanie na ten wspaniały czas może umilić nam skarbonka w kształcie Świętego Mikołaja. Zgodnie z opisem wynalazku, to urządzenie ma zachęcać do regularnego oszczędzania. W nagrodę za wrzucenie monety Mikołaj „zaśpiewa” nam piosenkę. Co ciekawe, patent został udzielony na taki wynalazek. Czy to nie brzmi jak świąteczny cud?

Urządzenie dozujące prezenty
Dzień 3. – mieszkania i domy przyozdobione, budżet prezentowy przygotowany. Czas zająć się konkretami. Jeśli mamy wielu gości do obdarowania, pomocne może okazać się urządzenie dozujące prezenty. Zdecydowanie pozwoli usprawnić rozdawanie prezentów i może być przedstawiane jako Święty Mikołaj (a także Gwiazdor, Aniołek czy Dzieciątko!). Wynalazek został doceniony przez ekspertów USPTO, ponieważ prawo zostało skutecznie udzielone.
