Hmmm. I've been using this patented technique with my dog for a while now.
It's gotten so popular, I am getting requests to exercise my sister-in-law's
dog similarly. I was considering starting a business based upon this
practice, but I now know how foolish that would be.

But how the blazes can someone patent how you wave a laser pen around for your
pet?!?

| (...) Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy, what are we going to do with you? Don't you know that you can patent __anything__ in the US?! For goodness sakes people are patenting mathematical equations (TrueType fonts)!! Cheers, (24 years ago, 23-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
