Spring is in the air, and Easter is around the corner. BRION RAFFOUL LLP is sharing our favourite Easter-related patents as we hop towards our favourite spring holiday.
US Patent No. 1,484,796 – Egg Laying Toy
At a certain age, children become sceptical about the Easter bunny (though they may hide their scepticism to keep the chocolate coming!). After all, how can a rabbit lay eggs? This patent for an “egg-laying toy”, filed over a century ago, aims to keep the Easter bunny’s magic alive.
US Patent No. 4,124,135 – Hinged Plastic Easter Egg
One type of Easter egg is always a favourite: an egg with an extra surprise inside! Whether the egg is chocolate and stuffed with a toy, or a large plastic egg filled with an assortment of candy, this hinged plastic Easter egg is guaranteed to delight the recipient. However, you may need a very large mechanical rabbit to lay this Easter egg.
Our team at BRION RAFFOUL LLP wishes you a happy Easter!
