Saki as Prior Art

ndrosenTuesday afternoon, I was frustrated trying to find a patent or published application teaching a claim limitation that was so obvious that no one described it. Then I remembered a story by Saki (H.H. Munro) which involved this, and thanks to Google, I was able to get a copy, and make it of record in the case.
I’m glad to have the kind of mind that can make connections like this (I don’t know how it works), and I’m glad that my parents gave me Saki’s collected short stories more than thirty years ago.
Sorry, I won’t say which story, or how something in a story from Edwardian England relates to a twenty-first century patent application. Confidentiality, don’t you know.
