Or did the U.S. patent law go entirely mad?

...this hypothesis proved very true.

Has anybody patented wheel yet? If not, I volunteer!

You cannot patent an existing idea or feature. (which is why star trek was searched over and over for any reference to hyperlinks) And yes, the US patent law is entirely mad. Someone was able to patent a grotesque human/mouse creature.

In fact, some australian *did* get a patent on the wheel:

Patent law is only hindering development in our days.
