Who is the president that holds a patent related to ships?
Abraham Lincoln. Before he became president, he was interested in engineering. He wondered if there were a way to invent something that might keep ships from running aground, and he came up with an idea for inventing such a device. He received Patent 6469 on May 22, 1849. It was called "Buoying Vessels Over Shoals,"and although the actual invention never seems to have been built, he is the first (and only) president to hold such a patent.

Can someone apply for a patent while a product is under pending patent?
Absolutely. The term "patent pending" applied to a product has no legal ramifications. It's just advertising that they are trying to patent the technology that went into the product. Only an issued patent is enforcable. Some products will print patent numbers on their packaging if patents have issued for the technology. You cannot get a patent for something you didn't invent though. Filing a patent application involves signing an oath, and lying under oath is perjury. Patent pending can only be displayed on the product/services, when you have applied for a patent. So, there is no question of applying for a patent while a product is under pending patent. http://indiapatents.blogspot.com

Why are the Chinese so good at ping pong if they didn't invent it?
You don't have to invent something to be good at it. If we use your logic it would mean that only people who invent something can do it or use it. With this in mind that would mean that only the Scottish could be good at golf since golf came from Scotland.

Patent is when a person invents an idea or product and in order to make it their own so that no one else can use it, they apply for a patent. This insures that only the person who originated the idea may use or profit off of it.
