Apple patents the paper bag. Yes, the paper bag

[qubit]

Yes, you've read that right, Apple patents the humble paper bag. Mind you, coming from a company who patented the rounded rectangle I'm not surprised.

I already hold Several Paper bag, and paper airplane related patents (also a tissue paper cup)*patent pending*, So theirs must be with the handle Only , as in the diagram .....also, theirs has stink lines coming off of it.

In v 1.1 they're going to remove 3.5mm headphone jack.

[Toothless]

I can't wait for the case protectors for the iBag.

 

[droopyRO]

I want to see the mfkers patent this

Good greif, Apple

And given how expensive it can be to file a patent, I don't see the value in this. Maybe just more brand recognition or something?

The 9-9 tag is for a cross-section of that area in another view. I'm guessing they have some over-engineered/elaborate way of attaching the handle to the bag? Wouldn't surprise me the least LOL!

As much as i dislike Apple with this crap, i have more well much more hate for the dicks who allow them to do it.

It does proove how fucked up the patent system is.

 

[redundantslurs]

In v 1.1 they're going to remove 3.5mm headphone jack.

It takes a lot of courage to do that and only Apple has that kinda courage.

How long before "paper" get's patented by Apple?

I'm surprised they haven't tried to patent "water" yet ...

 

[KainXS]

why not patent the wood itself, then patent the dirt too.

Can't make the IWood without the IDirt.

I've never owned any Apple products. Almost bought an Apple II GS back in the day but they do provide entertainment for me. The loyal fans that will pay a lot for the Apple logo do anyway.
