In fact, it's a very good video ads but the content, i wish i can have a video like this about my cam.
Apple just applied for a patent on a paper bag, so i think it was pretty cool.

17 pages of drawings to patent a white paper bag http://pdfaiw.uspto.gov/.aiw?docid=20160264304&PageNum=1&IDKey=EE33E17CF5CC&HomeUrl=http://appft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1%26Sect2=HITOFF%26d=PG01%26p=1%26u=%252Fnetahtml%252FPTO%252Fsrchnum.html%26r=1%26f=G%26l=50%26s1=%252220160264304%2522.PGNR.%26OS=DN/20160264304%26RS=DN/20160264304 the world has gone nuts if they're granted a patent over a white paper bag
masters of presenting existing ideas from a new perspective and having people gush over their "innovation"
I understand patents (I have a few), undoubtedly their whole reason for even wanting to patent a paper bag would be because the minute it was released Samsung would be sending customers out the door with something just like it and the Huawei, Xiaomi etc etc versions would soon follow as they all try and knock off that Apple customer experience, design patents are the hardest to justify and I don't think you'd need to look far and wide to find these same design elements among other existing paper bags, not exactly revolutionary, don't get me wrong I do like Apple but they are masters of presenting existing ideas from a new perspective and having people gush over their "innovation"
You should see how many patents exist for paper cups among the major corporations that sell beverages!
patents are a big earner for the USA, nothing would surprise me, some patents (or attempts at obtaining them) are truly ridiculous
It's hardly just a USA thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patent_Cooperation_Treaty
There is a trend in patenting some pretty vague concepts these days and then there's the whole patent troll industry.
most major economies are involved but what I mean is that patents and the associated licensing revenue is a major earner for the US economy
