Aside from it being absolutely stupid from the PR department, but seriously.. its gotten this bad that companies are getting patents for cages.....

Seriously they need to have a serious rework of the patent system as to what "deserves" a patent vs what is obviously to later be used as patent trolling..

Having protective cages is in no way a "new idea" which deserves a patent. Its beyond ridiculous something like this was awarded one..
