More patent craziness--McDonalds tries to patent the sandwich
McDonald's puts patent on sandwiches
McDonald's wants to own the rights to how a sandwich is made.The fast-food chain has applied for a patent relating to the 'method and apparatus' used to prepare the snack.
The burger company says owning the 'intellectual property rights' would help its hot deli sandwiches look and taste the same at all of its restaurants.
It also wants to cut down on the time needed to put together a sandwich, thought to have been dreamt up by the Earl of Sandwich in 1762.
