413 Entries for “patent”

  1. Those patent leather boots don’t shine like they used to. They’ve been locked away for ages now that the only one who wore them is no longer around. Sometimes things do last longer than people. You can expect nothing or anything in this world.

  2. Permission to think
    to explore what is and was always inside you.
    Limited by the mind of another, so
    he might capitalize
    and institutionalize on what he couldn’t do
    himself.

  3. The patent made millions but ultimately cost even more, as the flawed design rivaled the at-home Atomic Energy Labs of the 1950s in terms of its lethal applications in the hands of children.

  4. I was talking about my roommate today about software patents. He argues that they should be totally rid of. The idea is that they patent ideas of programs before they even are implemented. So old big software companies that managed to get a bunch of patents of ideas of programs they have yet to even implement and code, are allowed to sue those who’ve worked hard to implement said idea. Its pretty ridiculous. If the people that said software patents protect say to get rid of these patents, then there’s obviously a HUGE problem.

  5. nothing ever is completely yours. you can claim it, buy it, own in, stick a flag in it and scream AMERICA but the truth in the end is that we are not even our own. happily, we are of something bigger

  6. patent leather. patent shoes. patent technologies. patent Ideas.
    They’re mine goddamn i!
    Patent gives power to your ego. a permanent title across the front.
    This is special. I have it because I am special. look at it and see how special I am

  7. i am always patent, it is one of those things, sometimes i wish i wasnt so patent but life moves on. This is why i cant have kids my patience is limited and i get frustrated too often for words. I love my boyfriend, we are now engaged =]. Im so happy now, He asked me while we went camping, it was the happiest moment of my life, and I am so glad he wants a future with me, i always worried about that i thought he would never ask and i was doomed to be single for the rest of my life.

  8. “the batglare is patented,” robin explained carefully to his obviously inferior friend. wally scowled. “dude, it’s just a LOOK, right? i mean, it’s not an invention or a superpower or anything like that. he can’t just patent what he wants, right? like, he’s not a god and he’s not a–he’s standing right behind me isn’t he.” robin cackled as wally turned around in terror to face the infamous and–yes–patented batglare.

    “he’s the goddamn batman.”

  9. Patent me, so I can be yours. Claim me, own me, brand me true. Covet and hold me selfishly.

  10. effort

    Zoro
  11. Patent, claiming your idea, brand, statement. So know can copy, without your permission, and you can have your rightful dues.

    Kia
  12. Did you know that most people who receive patents for inventions didn’t invent the thing themself? Nope. They built it after something that someone else designed. It’s like that saying “I stand on the shoulders of giants.”

    Theresa
  13. Patent. To patent something. An idea. Your idea. Came from you, nursed by you, raised by you. What makes it yours? What lets other people know it’s yours? How can you let other people know it’s yours? Patent. To patent something. An idea. Yours.

    Courtney
  14. Patent sounds a lot like patient. That was something that Andrea at least described her pretty well. She knew not everyone thought that was a good thing around here; it was all “every man for themselves” (even though none of them here were men).

    Ashley
  15. My word. My body. My thoughts. My hope. Me. I patent me. You are you and I am me and even though you tell me how I should be ….I am be. So BLOW me.

    Sam
  16. Ideas flow through my mind like words out of a rappers mouth. So many opportunities. So many decisions. What if I don’t make the right one? I could be an english teacher in Costa Rica, I could be an inventor and patent my own invention. I could be anything.

  17. I already wrote about this. But who can tell me when the patent is patient. WHen it waits for you. When it bows to your needs and confesses. I confess. “This isn’t my calling”, she yelled. “It isn’t”, she whispered.

    Emily
  18. The cracks and notches in the stairs run deep, and have for years in the exact same pattern as they do now. Only one more year in this same building, on these concrete steps, waiting for Mom to come and take me home after another long schoolday.

  19. You don’t need a patent to show how true that statement is.

    Your idea is only defined with a possible path
    to possible excellence
    when stickered with a possible patent
    to be legitimate.
    to be officiously only YOUR idea.
    officially created
    by officially only you
    WHAT. THE. FUCK.
    patent that reaction
    as reality.
    Your ideas are yours.
    You don’t need a patent-er (?) to tell you so.
    Duh-mother-patented-squared.

  20. The patent that she offered was a compromise. I don’t want compromises I want truth full truth like never offered before. I want the truth to beg me to get on my knees. I am on my knees. Give me truth. Give me clarity.

    Emily
  21. something i will never obtain
    ideas fill my mind but i can never get them down on paper
    i feel as though getting a patent would make creativity much less fun
    now it’s a job
    it’s not a game and it’s not just for me
    it’s for everyone else
    indeed, it’s no longer fun

  22. Patent
    Reminds me of patience
    Patience I have for you dear fragile friend
    Releasing your insides in the bathroom upstairs
    In hopes of something.
    Something.
    Do you want control?
    Do you want perfection?
    You are so from it
    You feel so alone
    If I could help I would
    But patience.
    One day hopefully you’ll hear the word patent
    And think of patience too.
    Patience for you.
    Be free little one, you are empty enough already.
    Don’t purge what’s no longer there anymore.
    Purge what’s keeping you from being free.

    Words That Entangle
  23. patents fall from the sky. Children and adults run in fear as they are smashed and crushed by the weight of these giant monstrosities. A veloceraptor also fell victum, languishing on the ground, his last words was, “they attack from the sky.” No one

  24. This one little piece of paper can make you or break you. It can recognize all your heard work and show everyone that, that marvellous invention was all your idea, and yours alone. But you got to be careful. If you’re not careful,and you don’t acquire this little, but very significant, piece of paper in time, all your ideas and your hard work will have been a waste. Someone will have taken them and signed their own little piece of paper; their own little patent.

    Bojana Barscevski
  25. Patent’s sure are tricky things. If you don’t get one as soon as your invention is complete, someone could steal the credit for everything you’ve done. Everything you’ve worked so hard for can be taken away with one little piece of paper; a patent.

    Bojana Barscevski
  26. patent in french is an expression for something that as kind of a useless value… for exemple a patent to open cans of paint.

  27. I like shoes. I like patent leather shoes. I like suede shoes, especially if they are blue. I like flats and boots and sneakers but especially heels. I like Steve Madden. I like Born. I like BCBG. I like Tony Lama boots and I like I like Sperry Topsiders. I just wish I had room for more.

  28. An idea or invention someone may have that cannot be stolen, because it is copy written for that person. No ideas can be stolen from you because they are yours. Putting a lock on ones ideas.

    Sman
  29. It was a patent formula. Just created! New and guaranteed to cure all ills. From snake bites and broken bones to headache and heartache and heat stroke. From stomach aches to the aches of the soul as you considered the deeper meanings of life and the universe. Yes, this was guaranteed to cure all ills, fix all problems and leave you happier than ever. Too bad it was actually a poison.

  30. i really wish that one day i could be cool eniough to invent something that could get a viable patent. my friend molly;s dad is a physicist and he has a bunch.

  31. there should be a patent on our love
    because it was the greatest thing ever invented
    and NO ONE will ever be able to copy it

    there should be a patent on our love
    because then nobody can steal our love
    and you and me will go on forever

  32. patent pending
    patent leather
    mary jane’s
    little girls
    white tights with runs in them
    falling on concrete
    picking up leaves on walks
    church shoes
    swinging my legs on the pew

  33. I would love to patent my new recipe for making grown men cry. They always come and hit on my unexpectedly when I’m on the subway. I just want them to show some respect or I will spray them with my new serum! Cry little bitches, cry.

  34. I was always looking. I was always looking for that one great idea. The one that would make everything better. I needed to find the idea that would take my family to a better place, that would stop money from being a problem. The idea that allow money to mean what it really is, just a thing.

  35. coin your original idea, get a patent.
    get a patent to hope one of the 7 billion other people on this planet don’t use your same original idea.
    a patent to protect something that comes to many as your own.

  36. patent leather shoes, so shiny, black as coal in your stocking at christmas time. your faced smiled up at me from the floor. asking me how is it that we live forever?

  37. Great things started with an idea, a motion, and a patent telling others to keep their filthy hands off of it.

  38. To be honest, I dont know a lot about patents. I know they are put in place to ensure people don’t steal other individual’s ideas. Sounds like a great idea to me! If I was an inventor I would definitely appreciate this. Especially after looking back into history…like the Industrial Revolution for example. If I can recall correctly, when the steam engine was first invented, the idea was stolen and brought to North America. If a patent had been around back then I’m sure this would have been a major problem. But at the same time, I think this is all too vague in my mind. Social 7 is just too far away! Sorry if my facts are incorrect. To get back to the point, patents are very useful in protecting inventions. If someone infringed a patent, I’m sure the law would take it into their hands. The person with the patent would probably recieve some sort of monetary compensation.

  39. This word to me represents monopoly. Instead of adding to the wealth of human knowledge, you decided to make money off it!

  40. the shine of her patent leather shoes entrapped the little boys mind. They were so clean, so black. So…perfect. Just like her deep, dark hair and eyes the color of ndian ink.
