What Does Patent Pending Mean?
Have you ever been in a public restroom drying your hands with an air dryer, and wondered what the phrase “patent pending” means? You always see that stamped somewhere on those things, and every single time I wonder what that means. I assume it means that the dryer is patented, or at least will be when the application goes through. I always mean to look it up when I get close to a computer, but then I forget. And even when I am on the computer and remember, I never do look around to see if I am right. In fact, maybe I should go look right now while am thinking about it.
