I need a create a BS patent ASAP
This appears to be the fastest way to get rich. Discover something that didn't cost you anywhere near what you're awarded and just ride it out in style.
Can I just get away with oxygen and sue everyone on Earth?
I'll just patent everything available and wait for someone to use it by dumb luck.

"Its okay when apple break patents." the university devoloped that technology. This isnt a patent troll company. Wouldn't you want money from a company that got immensely rich off of your idea and didnt give royalties like agreed upon?
...
Yeah, I would, which is why I'm coming up with thousands of BS ones until someone's uses a hint of it. I'll send a few legal letters and not really cooperate. Then I'll finally wait until I get my mega-millions.
Who needs a 401k? Patents baby.

You obviously have no idea how much it costs to go through the patent process... "The first step in the patent application process is to file a non provisional patent application, which involves paying attorney fees in the range of $5000 to $15,000 or more, depending on the intricacies of the invention."
It's more then just "I have an idea, I'm going to patent it and become rich"... "Statistics show that up to 97% of patents generate less revenue than they cost to obtain. The cost of a patent can vary widely depending on, not only the complexity of the invention, but also the intended market. The most expensive patents are international patents, which can run up to $100,000 or higher."

No, did you honestly miss the point of my post? You were trying to make patents seem frivolous like anyone can just patent anything and strike it rich. That's just not the case.

You actually can though - that is if you know anything about law. Just like you can either file your own taxes, or pay someone hundreds, if not thousands to do them for you.
I know plenty of people who do their own business taxes and skip paying THOUSANDS to have someone else do them.
Yes, it does cost money to patent stuff - but it's not anywhere near what people claim. If you hire a lawyer to do it for you? Sure.
Since when do lawyers do stuff for cheap? Even though their highly underpaid paralegals do most of the leg work, and they merely show up to state their BAR number and basically say 'prove it'.
