What can be said about this invention? The pictures say it all. This one is nothing more than a chastity belt for your pet. Rather than have your pet spayed, just use this invention. Beware cheap imitations that do not come equipped with a series of openings that allow urine to be passed through.
The Patent Abstract states:
An adjustable harness and animal birth control device for female quadrupeds comprising an adjustable harness having an adjustable waist collar, an adjustable left harness strap, an adjustable central harness strap and an adjustable right harness strap, each of the harness straps being detachably secured to the waist collar, and a birth control device which is detachably secured to the adjustable harness. The adjustable harness utilizes hook and loop fastening means in order to provide proper fitting and adjustment for various sizes of quadrupeds.

Crazy Patents - For the USPTO to issue a patent, the invention must be novel, non-obvious, and "useful." The standard for usefulness is certainly the weakest of the three -- any possible utility, no matter how small, will suffice. And, useful does not necessarily mean commercially viable. In other words, you can get a patent on some crazy things that will never make it to the shelves of your local store.
