This draft addresses the process by which patents are accepted.
[desc] After going online for the first time, the National Patent Registration Database (NPRD) has been inundated with countless patent applications, many of them seemingly jokes. One of the worst offenders was the attempted registration of a so-called 'Time Machine', which was simply a mobile phone taped on to a microwave. Frustrated patent offices are demanding that you do something to stop these joke proposals.
[validity] Only valid for nations that chose 711.2 and have the internet
[option] "It's our mistake for allowing the registration of patents online," admits Christina @@RANDOMLASTNAME@@, the head of the NPRD, who is hard at work deleting proposals as fast as she receives them. "People with too much free time have been sending us blueprint after blueprint of absolute garbage. In fact, I recall several applications that were trying to patent literal garbage. We should be given a free hand to blacklist those who we deem as wasting our time permanently from patent registration."
[effect] government opponents tend to have their patents rejected immediately
[option] "You must accept all patents regardless of their contents!" demands @@RANDOMNAME@@, a self-proclaimed mad scientist, who is submitting @@HIS@@ 'time machine' application again despite having been rejected at least a dozen times so far. "All inventions have their own merits, and who is to say that something you deem as trash isn't actually a revolutionary gadget in disguise? The pursuit of science is a worthy cause in itself, and to deny innovators their just reward is an insult to their efforts. Let us and our creations finally be recognised!"
[effect] the wheel has been patented by at least a hundred people
[option] "I've had enough of this nonsense!" rebukes John Titor, the Director of the @@DENONYMADJECTIVE@@ Organisation for Quantum Research, who is infamous for his long rants online. "Our citizens clearly see the concept of patents as a joke, and want to mock our government institutions. We must teach them a lesson by placing the ownership of all patents under the state. I'm sure that qualified officials such as myself will have more use with any new gizmos that are created, and will have an idea as to how to better harness them for the greater good."
[effect] new inventions are few and far between following the seizure of all patents by the state
Also, this draft is a reference to Steins;Gate as well as the John Titor meme.
