This month the IP lawyers at Dawsey Co LPA have added new, pet related content to the “Patents for Your Pets” section of our “Interesting Patents” page. First, we have the Bird Trap and Cat Feeder patent. This invention was meant to kill two birds with one stone: reduce the sparrow population, and keep the neighborhood cats well fed. Next, we have the Apparatus for Determining Dog’s Emotions by Vocal Analysis of Barking Sounds and Method for the Same patent. This invention claims to determine the emotions of a dog by analyzing barking sounds. In the event this invention doesn’t let you know when your dog is feeling frustrated, we have the Flush Toilet for a Dog patent. Now your dog can take over your bathroom as well as your couch.
