In the history of science, there were lot of inventions which made human life more comfort and easier. Some of them, for example electric bulb, telephone and computer made a great impact to the human life style. These inventions were first registered as a patent in the patent office before their commercial production and usage. Patent originates from the Latin
patere, which means "to lay open".
Patent usually refers to the right granted to anyone who invents any new, useful, and non-obvious process, machine, article of manufacture, or composition of matter. In the United States, first Congress adopted a Patent Act, in 1790, and the first patent was issued under this Act on July 31, 1790 (to Samuel Hopkins of Vermont for a potash production technique). Indian government adopted a Patents Act in 1970.
The patents were always novel but the usage of some were absurd, wacky and strange. Here, I proudly introduce the Top 10 - Wacky patents, thanks to those beautiful and novel minds behind these patents.
