    Patenting chalk water solution is like patenting milk.

    Oh look, I’ve made up a liquid consisting of suspended lipids, sugars, and proteins! Please detain these cows!

    These corporations would try to patent any molecular arrangement that contains two oxygen atoms and call it a day and they’d fight a plant for it.

      2 oxygen atoms? Your product sounds awfully similar to my proprietary, patented, 1 oxygen, 2 hydrogen atoms compound.

      I hope you have a good lawyer.
