40 Reasons To Not Go Into the Toilet Paper Business
08/14/08
I just finished filing for a utility patent. For those not familiar the process, it’s detailed, time consuming, and expensive. And, to top it all off, I hear that the patent office is backed up. I don’t expect to get an answer for a couple years.
Anyway, on a semi-related note, I was restocking our bathroom last night when I noticed something interesting. According to the Charmin Ultra Soft packaging, The toilet paper I was handling was “made under one or more” of a list of 40 US patents. 40!
We’ve come a long way, huh?
So just a warning, if you think you’re thinking about getting into the TP biz, you may want to reconsider. I think Procter & Gamble may have it pretty wrapped up.
PS. Check out this site I just found: Toilet paper: the interactive user experience of the last 1.5 centuries
