In 1888, Theophilus Van Kannel patents his invention, the revolving door. This invention solves an engineering problem of air transfer by ensuring that there is no opening to the outside and the inside of a building at the same time, which could create massive drafts due to air temperature differences. This invention is still used today. These days patents are filed for much more frivolous things for a much more nefarious purposes. Software patents threaten the livelyhood of the independent software developer and the very nature of the opensource software movement. You can help us prevent software patents (which are legal in the United States) from becoming more widespread, particularly in the European Union.
