HEADLINE: Lovable furry doll. Patent # 5787324181

COPY: Chris Reilly didn’t realize he was an inventor. Until he dreamed up a new kind of furry doll. Of course, lots of people invent things. But most of them just walk around dreaming about them. Not Chris. He sent a description and precise rendering to the US Patent and Trademark Office. Now his furry bear is patent number 576894332.

And our new inventor is protected from rip-offs of his idea. He has even licensed the rights to a toy company.

HEADLINE: Combustibles demonstrator. Patent # 643687952

And her patent number will protect her invention from being copied and marketed by anyone else.
