    How the hell was that even issued? Ianal obviously, my recollection from uni engineering was that Prior Art matters.

    Also, given that there’s a lot of skilled people in the field these days, you’d think some of these patents could be challenged as being “obvious to a skilled person”, bed levelling to me could fit that bill given it’s a common issue that would make sense to pursue a solution for. Granted I’m not versed in us patent law (I barely have a basic understanding of Canadian Patent Law), so maybe that’s different.
