Repost from The Limited Monopoly

John Hammond (our patent agent over at  Patent Innovations) and his colleague Bob Gunderman are the authors of a really nice newsletter called The Limited Monopoly. A few years ago they wrote a hysterical article entitled "Patentability and the 'Long-Felt Unmet Need'—The Christmas Tree Stand as a Case Study." In the spirit of the season, John has given us permission to share it here. Enjoy!
