KnukCould I patent harmful technology to prevent it from being put on the market?
In theory yes
In reality, they will find a way around your patent.
Look up the patent on window wipers as an example
This oddly reminds me that the original patent for the chainsaw was for aiding childbirth.
I’ll let anyone curious enough google that.
I’m not doing the research on that. That is horrifying
Curiosity got the better of me a while back. It’s horrifying and incredibly interesting at the same time.
If it makes you feel better they were tiny compared to what’s at home depot
