I saw a joke recently where someone made up a fake patent application
(at least, I hope it was fake) where they were essentially patenting
photosynthesis, or patenting some basic chemical process that is
essential to the way chlorophyll functions in plants. The idea was to
get this patent through and then hit up the entire plant kingdom for
royalties.
