Yoga Patent
A company called YogaGlo recently received a patent for the concept of an "image capturing device" placed in "a studio having a front area and a rear area" and containing an instructor and a "plurality of students." Which is to say, they've patented the idea of filming a yoga class.
The Washington Post credits the reward of this patent to the "culture of the patent office," which views "more patenting as a good thing" and doesn't like to reject patents lest examiners get "bogged down in never-ending arguments with applicants."

That could pertain to a school play as well. Can't wait to see if anyone tries that one to sell only official DVDs to fund the school.

It's getting harder and harder to wear the American Flag with any pride.

We all know where patent trolls come from: they come from Edison's legacy. And they haven't stopped since.
