Assignment #10 silly patents Part 2

In this blog post I will continue with another silly patent. Patent US 6895967, a condom with an inflatable portion. Why is this patent so revolutionary you may ask? Well imagine a condom but now their is an inner wall and outer wall where you can pump air in. In other words you can simulate the idea of having a bigger penis by just adding air to a condom. Inventors have experimented with different materials, which have been structurally modified to provide increased sexual pleasure. Examples of these would include the ribbed condom for female stimulation and the lambskin for the male. So far, however, only moderate stimulation has been achieved. This invention builds off prior art of a regular condom but is still non-obvious because no one has previously invented a condom with an air chamber. Although I doubt anyone would find any use for this it could potentially be used as a gag gift. This patent goes to show that anything can be patented even the most ridiculous inventions.

  1. Hi Will,

    Great choice of a patent. My inner child approves. But also overall great job pointing out the specific inventions this patent builds off of. I would have liked to see a bit more regarding the obviousness of novelty of this invention from your own perspective.
