The Patent Desk

"Everything that can be invented has been invented." Charles H. Duell, commissioner of the U.S. patent office, 1899.

Ahoy-hoy! Strange rumblings and memos from the patent desk... A celebration of the ideas and illustrations found on patents, where form often follows function. You can follow the desk on twitter or feel free to make contact...

Nothing like getting back to nature… The call of the wild, hunting for recreation! But why stand around in the cold when you can sit up in a tree lounging and picking off game in style. Pow, Pow. They wont even see you coming… …low n’ lazy!
