Re:Gillettes new razor 37 has patents (Score 2, Informative)

Here's a link to the Patent Office web site where I put in a query for the term "razor" in any patent with Gillette as the assignee: Gillette Razor Patents I am one of the 13 patent examiners who would ever examine a patent for a razor (among other things), so I am all too familiar with slogging through a bunch of crap to find decent prior art. As far as the 37 patent on the Mach 3, a bunch of those are design patents and another bunch are older technology that may apply to the Mach 3 tangentially at best. As for a patent examiner's take on the present state of affairs here at the USPTO, I'll just say that things are pretty messed up, and it looks like it is only gonna get worse. Then again, Rogan just "stepped down," so who knows what's gonna happen.
