Reality Alternate, or the Expandaverse
In Nov 2015, Daniel H. Abelow was granted US Patent 9,183,560 for what he called "Reality Alternate." This was "a reality alternative to our physical reality, named the Expandaverse, that includes multiple digital realities that may be continuously created, broadcast, accessed, and used interactively." I have no idea what he meant by this, or how he obtained the patent. His patent runs to 701 pages, including over 300 pages of cryptic diagrams detailing things such as "Discontinuous Stages of History and Consciousness" and "Stages and Cycles of Discontinuous Evolution." Some research reveals that Abelow was associated with a patent-trolling company called Lodsys, LLC that sued companies such as Canon, Hewlett Packard, and Motorola for patent infringement. Perhaps the "Reality Alternate" patent was an attempt to create a patent so broad and open-ended that it would allow Abelow (via Lodsys) to sue pretty much anyone for patent infringement.
