Children, beware!
You know how 5 year-old children like swings, right? There are even parks spread throughout most cities, that will satisfy their apettite for swinging.
Well, know that many of those 5 year old are probably infringing a patent regarding a "method for swinging on a swinger". There are rumours that this patent was granted to a 5 year old.
And from the USPTO patent text, I quote:
"A method of swing on a swing is disclosed, in which a user positioned on a standard swing suspended by two chains from a substantially horizontal tree branch induces side to side motion by pulling alternately on one chain and then the other."
Oh boy.
