Having babies is the toughest thing in the world to do. There are endless problems, concerns and disasters lurking around every corner - and scores of inventors have tried to improve upon the situation… with varying results. The team puts some of the most bizarre baby patents to the test and come up with their own ultra-cool baby invention.
Patent Bending is a Canadian reality television series that premiered August 22, 2006, on the Discovery Channel. The series is based on building some of the weird, fantastical ideas inventors have patented over the last century. Once physically realised, the flaws in these ideas tend to be humorously obvious and explain the ideas' lack of commercial success. The team then tries to come up with an improved version, thus the "bending" part of the title, meeting with varying results.
