I think if people even put forth the idea with some schematics-- whether it works or not-- they can patent it.
Looks like my brother found my ice cream sandwiches.... There are only a few left. He also found my hostess cupcakes and now there are none left.
I wonder if there are different patents for the new refrigerators with the doors that open only the door shelves part if you pull at the right spot or press a button but then open the full door if you hold it at the right spot or hit a button. I saw some of the new fridges with that feature at Best Buy. I forget what brand model-- I think LG- had a 30.6cu ft fridge and I kept playing with the doors. It even had a thing where you could have shelves on the door near the icemaker. The only drawback was it had one of those huge bottom drawers that kill my back if I try to reach in to them. Well, ok, that wasn't the ONLY drawback. There was the price and the fact that every time you shut one of the doors, the other door would pop open a little. I said something to one of the employees who was coming over to see what was up and he said "but it reseals afterward" and I'm thinking "but it still lets quite a bit of cold air out every time you shut one of the doors and that is pretty wasteful.
Of course, I know the doors had been opened and closed about a bajillion times so I don't know if they do that during normal operation when you first get them.
And wow, I'm really going off on a tangent. LOL.
To get back on topic, modular wall panels sound neat, but I don't really know what I would ever use them for.
