Just in case your Easter Egg hunt on Sunday involves any lofty hiding places, today's #FunnyPatentFriday from 1923 - US1467245, a 'Walking Stepladder' - may help! Glad this gentleman looks so happy, because we would be terrified of falling or, ahem, 'nipping'. #Patent #IP

Stay curious! Unless you're a cat of course. #MondayMotivation #MotivationMonday #AlbertEinsteinQuotes

Here we see an 'Easter egg game device' being enjoyed by a young David Beckham and Mr Angry. Mr Angry is upset he has lost the game and is about to kick the whole thing down because it's a rubbish game anyway and he doesn't even like the Spice Girls. With Easter fast approaching, today's #FunnyPatentFriday features US20190054368 #Patent #IP

Hang in there! #MotivationMonday #MondayMotivation #KeepGoing

You too, can become a master of disguise, simply by hanging a thin piece of flapping material from your nostrils. This week's #FunnyPatentFriday sees the...somewhat strange US20200022440 - a "costume face mask component". #Patent #IP #Invention #IsThatPrinceCharles?

This patent filing (CN106858770) is supposedly for a Halloween Costume. I wonder if the inventor might have got their festivals a bit muddled up? Although, maybe she scares by staring at you intently whilst sitting atop a pine tree. #FunnyPatentFriday #Spooktober #AngelicHorror

WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT! As #FunnyPatentFriday continues its horror theme for October, today it is our sad duty to report the demise of Zippy. Arguably the most angry and disruptive TV puppet since Emu the emu. Filed as CN204908011 - a protective suit.... #Patent #IP #PrayForZippy See more

October is officially Horror Month in the world of #FunnyPatentFriday and so we present to you US5033985 - a 'Diet-aid Doll'. Personally, I'd rather be fat than have to deal with a scary pig-woman trying to body shame me every time I fancy a snack. #Patent #IP #DollsAreScary

As working from home appears to be becoming part of the "new normal" once again, it's always good to remind ourselves of some basic tips for a healthy home-working environment. And despite appearances, this man is not pooing on his sofa - probably should be tip #1. #TuesdayTip

Sometimes a #patent illustration just so happens to depict the weird dream I had last night. Today's #FunnyPatentFriday is US6296487 - "Method and system for facilitating communicating and behavior skills training". Not quite sure why it involves equine IT. #HorseDreams
