Summary

This quote refers to a rather unconventional and humorous patent granted to a woman in Saline, Michigan in 1998. The patent is for a Decorative Penile Wrap, which includes illustrations depicting different costumes that can be worn by a penis, such as a ghost, the Grim Reaper, and a snowman. While the intention behind this patent might be lighthearted and whimsical, it also sheds light on the unique and sometimes unexpected ideas that can find their way into the world of patents and intellectual property protection.
