How the fuck can they patent something like that. Solar Cells are already out there and I assume are patented.. How the fuck can they get a new patent just because they might at sometime combine two existing products.

Can I patent Solar Cells on Cardboard boxes.. I mean really WTF is up with the patent office anymore.

It was more a matter of cost (and probably still is), solar powering anything more advanced than a calculator isn't cheap.

I thought the same thing but if you read the article the patent is for putting the solar cells under the lcd screen, which I have never seen done before. So its probably specific only to that application.

Don't most people keep theirs in their pocket all day? How much sunlight gets in to a pocket?
