While it's possible to turn a profit investing in toilet paper stocks, keep in mind that—like any investment—toilet paper stocks are not immune to risk.
Seth Wheeler's 1891 patent shows the original placement of the toilet paper roll using an "over" approach. Not that you should ever blindly follow the crowd, but a whopping 70% of the population prefers the “over” position.
It was granted on September 15, 1891 as patent number US456516A, with credit again to Seth Wheeler, and rights again to the Albany Perforated Wrapping Paper Company. An immediate improvement filed by Seth Wheeler, which was granted on December 22, 1891, as patent number US465588A.
Ing to an 1891 patent by New York businessman Seth Wheeler, the end of a toilet paper roll should be on the outside, or in the ``over'' position. (Advocates of the ``under'' position, take note: better flip that roll over when you get home.)
SETH WHEELER, OF ALBANY, NEW YORK. TOILET-PAPER ROLL. SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 465,588, dated December 22, 1891.
The toilet roll debate dates back to 1891 with Seth Wheeler's patent, which showed the roll hanging "over". This could be due to hygiene reasons (less contact with potentially germ-infested walls) or aesthetic preferences during the Victorian era.
For your invention to qualify for utility patent protection, it must be a machine, process or method, article of manufacture, and/or composition of matter. Abstract ideas, natural phenomena, and laws of nature cannot be patented. The interplay of these requirements can lead to some interesting outcomes.
Figure 1 specifically shows the roll on a toilet paper holder, still facing outward. Thus, this means the answer to the contested question of “should a toilet paper roll face over or under when on the holder?” is answered. The answer is it should face OVER.
It is no surprise that utility patents are substantially harder to obtain than design patents. What may be eye-opening is that the probability of obtaining a utility patent is a function of several factors.
To obtain a utility patent, you have to file a utility patent application with the USPTO. The as-filed utility patent application includes the abstract, drawings, and description that will eventually appear in the utility patent. Utility patent applications also include claims, which describe your invention.
