I have some vague recollection of it being a 20th century device that was a limited purpose monitor. I'm not sure I have space on my desk for a display device that can only be used with one source. It strikes me that running a separate display device just for this "television" service is inherently somewhat energy and resource wasteful. A truly energy efficient "TV" is a monitor that is also used for non-TV purposes.

You sign the patent application under oath with possible consequences of perjury. Therefore you should not sign an application that you believe is wrong, including if you think its claims of being innovative are not justified.

But if you refusing to sign because you do not think it should be patentable, then your refusal is inappropriate. Your opinions on what should be patentable is something you should discuss as a citizen with your various congressional representatives.

If the application is truthful, the company is entitled to file -- whether you think filing the patent is good for society as a whole or not.
