SEATTLE--In a move that could shake up non platonic relationships, Internet retailer Amazon.com has patented the use of the male penis. Amazon's possession of this patent could allow the company to prohibit men from using theirs without giving the online merchant information.
The overall premise of patenting an invention is valid and protects the inventor. However, I agree the current system is highly abused. The flaw in the current system, is the ability to patent 'IDEAS' even if you cant physically create a functioning prototype. For example, right now you can patent the 'IDEA' of a hovercraft car, and 50 years from now when someone actually develops a hovercraft car...they *must* pay royalties to you. ???? this needs to be changed. You should only be able to patent physical process (algorithms, products) and not ideas.
