Patent FUN!
I think inventions and patents are cool, so I am sharing a couple fun ways to explore them:
- Search for "pet toy" on Google Patents, which has over 120 million patents: https://patents.google.com/.
- Reminisce about your favorite (patented) toys and games: https://www.ipwatchdog.com/2019/12/25/the-most-iconic-and-patented-toys-and-games-of-all-time/id=117133/
- Check-out bizarre inventions, listed by professional patent searchers: https://www.planetpatent.com/bizarre-inventions/
- Look at celebrity patents: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_celebrity_inventors.
- Download the free National Archives Coloring book of strange-retro patents: https://archivesaotus.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/patentscoloringbook.pdf.
