Google Sued by Inventor of Vibrating Toilet Seat
It happens…
This according to InformationWeek:
Google this week was sued, along with AOL, by Johnny I. Henry, the inventor of a vibrating toilet seat.
Note the use of the indefinite article “a,” rather than the definite article “the,” to indicate that there might be more than one such device. According to Google Patents, two other inventors received a patent for a vibrating toilet seat of their own in 1990.
Though Google is known for its use of high-tech toilets, this is not a patent claim.
