奇闻：堆雪人也有专利了
<p>今年冬天堆雪人的时候小心有人告你侵权哦。纽约一名男子近日获得了美国专利商标局授予的“堆雪人”专利权，消息一出，便引起一片哗然。据悉，这名男子早在2006年就向美国专利商标局提出了此项专利申请。他的申请书长达25页，详细描述了制作匀称的雪球和建造雪人身体各个部分的方法。这名男子表示，他很喜欢制作大型雪人，但是做大雪人会遇到很多问题，比如说可用雪量不足、雪人身体各部分如何堆叠和移动等。经过多年的摸索和实践，他发现了解决这些问题的办法，并决定为此申请专利。他在申请书中写到，虽然他堆出来的雪人不会像车轮或烤箱一样，对人类的进步有着莫大的革命性意义，但此前还未有人曾试图制作大型雪人，而他只想堆出来一个更加完美的雪人。</p><p><span word="There">There</span> <span word="may">may</span> <span word="still">still</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="three">three</span> <span word="months">months</span> <span word="until">until</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="festive">festive</span> <span word="season">season</span> <span word="arrives">arrives</span>, <span word="but">but</span> <span word="one">one</span> <span word="inventor">inventor</span> <span word="has">has</span> <span word="received">received</span> <span word="an">an</span> <span word="amazing">amazing</span> <span word="early">early</span> <span word="Christmas">Christmas</span> <span word="present">present</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="U">U</span>.<span word="S">S</span>. <span word="Patent">Patent</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="Trademark">Trademark</span> <span word="Office">Office</span>.</p><p><span word="Ignacio">Ignacio</span> <span word="Marc">Marc</span> <span word="Asperas">Asperas</span>, <span word="of">of</span> <span word="Melville">Melville</span>, <span word="New">New</span> <span word="York">York</span>, <span word="has">has</span> <span word="been">been</span> <span word="granted">granted</span> <span word="an">an</span> <span word="astonishing">astonishing</span> <span word="patent">patent</span> <span word="for">for</span> ‘<span word="facilitating">facilitating</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="construction">construction</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="snowman">snowman</span>/<span word="woman">woman</span>’, <span word="five">five</span> <span word="years">years</span> <span word="after">after</span> <span word="he">he</span> <span word="first">first</span> <span word="applied">applied</span>.</p><p><span word="The">The</span> <span word="inventor">inventor</span> <span word="wrote">wrote</span> <span word="a">a</span> 25-<span word="page">page</span> <span word="document">document</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="details">details</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="how">how</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="roll">roll</span> <span word="symmetrical">symmetrical</span> <span word="snow">snow</span> <span word="balls">balls</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="construct">construct</span> <span word="body">body</span> <span word="parts">parts</span> <span word="such">such</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="arms">arms</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="shoulders">shoulders</span> - <span word="and">and</span> <span word="he">he</span> <span word="insists">insists</span> <span word="he">he</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="being">being</span> <span word="absolutely">absolutely</span> <span word="serious">serious</span>.</p>
