Re: pic: ThunderChickens Patent

If you look closely at the label, you'll see that it is a "Design Patent".

This is significantly different from a "Patent" as it does not actually require invention.

Wikipedia sums it up well, "In the United States, a design patent is a patent granted on the ornamental design of a functional item."
