Week 10 - Silly Patent #4
Hi all - last post for the week!
Optical illusion wear is really related to fashion, and is very popular with women's clothing in particular. However, this patent has incorporated actual optical illusion patterns to change the way that a person's body looks, as opposed to using simple colors and the clothing shape to alter appearances.
Abstract: The present invention is a variety of wearing apparel which employs two-dimensional patterns of optical illusions in three-dimensional applications in or upon the material of said wearing apparel. The applications of said patterns in the design of the apparel are for the purposes of a) novelty, b) highlighting body areas for attention and/or c) creating bodily appearance modification based on the natural properties of the optical illusion pattern itself.
Hi Payal,
ReplyDeleteI think that this is a very interesting choice for a silly patent! I agree that this is a very silly patent because it seems a little unnecessary that there would need to be optical illusion fabric. I agree that using just simply colors and shapes is another way to alter the appearance. I really liked how you simply defined the product and also gave the abstract for this product. It was a very well written post and I really enjoyed reading it! Great job, Payal!!!
I actually never realized that different patterns like this could cause this effect.
ReplyDeleteHi Payal,
ReplyDeleteGreat choice for a silly patent! I agree with Gabby that this patent does not seem very useful, but I think it fits well into our class topic this well. I like how you also incorporated pictures to help us understand it better. I would suggest talking about obviousness or prior art to add on to the discussion!
Hi Payal! Great post! This is such a silly patent. I wonder if anyone would actually buy this? I like how you provided a quick summary and pictures. It made it really easy to understand. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteHola Payal! Some people will definitely like to look slimmer in the beach or in the swimming pool ;-P
ReplyDeleteHello Paya, this is a pretty odd patent, seems like it might be causing people to get nauseous because of all these optical illusions around them. Quite odd indeed.
