I am sure everyone has starved themselves to the point of near collapse in anticipation of the Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend.  In the name of Pilgrims, Indians, and giblets, I have scoured the patent database for some festive patents to share.

To begin, I am providing a design patent for the shape of “ham.”  Ladies and gentlemen, this is no spiral ham, but what a beautiful ham it is.

On to course number two.  For all of those that like to work for their food, our next festive patent is for an apparatus used to carry your wild turkey.  This patented “turkey tote” includes a “blood-proof bottom pouch, No-See-Um mesh drawstring bag top, and a shoulder harness.”  Dinner is served.

Ohhhh dessert.  If you have any room left, this next patent is used to make those perfect overlapped pie crust tops.

Tactical IP would like to wish everyone safe travels this holiday season and to remember what you are thankful for.  For me, I am going to be thankful to be at the Miami Dolphins v. Dallas Cowboys football game.  Cheers.

We have now come to the time of the year when I like to have a little fun with the Patent Office – Thanksgiving.  Coincidentally, this is my favorite holiday of them all.  The damage that I intend to do to my body this weekend is something I pay for throughout the next year, but it’s worth it!  With no further ado:

The first of my favorite Thanksgiving Day patents is Design Patent No. D527,217 for a Thanksgiving Day Embossed Insert for a Baking Pan:

Next is Design Patent No. D397,955 directed to a turkey decoration.  I presume this is to be inserted into a turkey, but I really have no idea:

Of course, there is always the Turkey Decoy disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,168,649:

Last, but certainly not least, especially as how cranberry sauce is simply my favorite part of Thanksgiving, is U.S. Patent No. 5,375,402 directed to a Cranberry Harvester:

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!
