Teaching children to use the toilette is not always easy, but the methods are - according to the US Patent Office - patentable. If we look at US patent number 6,250,929, we see a patent for "Methods for improving the effectiveness of toilet training". Here are some statements from the patent:
"...wherein the recommendations are divided into a plurality of unique groups also based on the age of the child."
"...wherein the recommendations are divided into a plurality of unique groups also based on the gender of the child."
And - drumroll please - get this:
"...wherein the recommendations are divided into a plurality of unique groups also based on the age and gender of the child."
The patent basically is a set of recommendations for potty training based on various aspects of the child. Perhaps the advice is good, but is it patentable?!?
