It is named "bag" and here's how apple describes it.

 

"A paper bag is disclosed. The paper bag may include a bag container formed of white solid bleached sulfate paper with at least 60% post-consumer content."

“Bags are often used for containing items. For example, retail bags may be used to contain items purchased at a retail store.”

“The bag may be formed of a container and a handle.”

“Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the detailed description given herein with respect to these figures is for explanatory purposes only and should not be construed as limiting.”

“The phraseology or terminology used herein is for the purpose of description and not limitation, such that the terminology or phraseology of the present specification is to be interpreted by the skilled artisan.”

 

So "bag" is going to made of 60% recycled material and apple says they are doing this to help the environment but if that is really the motive wouldn't they want people to copy "bag" and I don't get how you can patent this and why would you want to. And I don't see anything artistic about "bag" but then again I am not a "skilled artisan" so I am unqualified to interpret "bag".

I believe that would be called Apple juice. Of course Apple would just patent it and then sue actual apple juice out of business. Enjoy your apples while you can guys!

this. this is the fucking funniest thing i have read in forever I am in tears man!

The USPTO employee that signed off on this patent should be fired. Heck, if it was up to me there would be criminal charges for accepting blatantly meritless patent applications like this.

Pointless... even if granted, they would never be able to use it due to prior art.

You underestimate the power of the U.S. Patent Office......and Apple.

Apple Systems Incorporated is giving you formal notice of patent infringement claims and is relegating 9 hours of formal notice before proceedings are filed to begin September 30th 2016. If our legal team is not contacted within the specified period, we are required by U.S. trade law to inform you we will win such a legal confrontation and will take you for everything you are worth.

Apple iBag: with new Plastic(tm) technology, you can move your stuff knowing that you're a complete moron for spending £3mil on a carrier bag.

[CaliJL]

Don't they need to patent everything they intend to sell? So later on they don't get hit with a lawsuit?

That's implying Gizmodo ever was a good, reliable source of information.

Implying they're the technical equivalent of The Onion. 

 

On that note, writing satire is fun. I should post some here.
