Many of you reacted very positively to our last article about absurd and quirky patents. We understand that you like these discoveries. That is why we have decided to highlight a strange (or completely absurd) patent in each newsletter.

It takes the form of a transparent anti-fog dome that completely surrounds the user’s head and the plants are fixed on small shelves. The first question is: what are the plants for?
