Hey. Did you know there are a lot of patents for chopsticks? Not design patents, utility patents. I didn't, until today, when I decided to look for them on a whim.
Writing implements and chopsticks combo. This seems like a terrible idea. Get ink in your food and food on your work...
Self elevating chopsticks? Perfect! Never again worry about how you set them down.
This multi-functional chopsticks for children is the kind of invention that likely never made it beyond a prototype and the patent. Truly, who would need so much tech packed into a child's utensil? Have you seen children eat? They're slobs.
Portable, foldable, and with their own case? Neato! I always hated it when the paper wrapping on the set of chopsticks I kept in my purse got torn up.
I think we all have carpal tunnels, so ergonomic chopsticks are nice.
These are like the sports car version of chopsticks: made for performance.
Would I be able to extend them enough to steal food from someone else's plate?
Look, this chopstick attachment invention isn't the best of the patents, but it included a lot of patent-specific vocabulary, and it was worth putting on the list just so people could see "proximal" and "distal" in action.
If you can use both, JUST PICK ONE!
I keep telling people patent searching can be fun! Now will they believe me?
