Patent: Canon takes the selfie stick to the next level
- Thread starter Canon Rumors Guy
- Start date
That’s not a patent. It’s a published patent application. (Let me know if you ever need help from a patent attorney).
A published application will start with the year. A US patent will be 8 digits starting with 11 or thereabouts.
International gets complicated but look for WO or PCT if in doubt.

It would seem to be an obvious "idea" to patent to cover future IP infringement. The selfie stick has been around for a reasonably long time now.
I would be intrigued to understand how this patent application compares to the DJI Osmo Mobile 5 which has a telescoping/extension rod in it.

I assume you were responding to my comment. I know the difference between an application and a patent quite well as I hold 17 patents, but for purposes of my comment, it makes no difference. My point was that someone (in this case Canon) thought there was enough interest in selfies to put the effort into the application and that perceived interest simply points out the level of narcissism that exists in society today. A whole line of printers named Selphy is only more evidence of the global narcissism. The current turn of speech "me and him did such and such" as opposed to "he and I did such and such" is yet another example of the disease, not to mention grossly poor English. Last, but not least we have iPhone, iPad, etc. At least (maybe in honor of ee cummings) Apple put the I in lower case

Sorry, missed that. His comment was immediately following mine and none of the previous comments had suggested that the app was a patent.He could have been responding to the OP:
Your assumption that he was responding to your comment makes the rest of your post rather I-ronic.

Everyone has a need for selfies. Some to record an event for others vanity. And YEAH they do know.
