Patent Bending

Patent Bending is a Canadian reality television series that premiered August 22, 2006, on the Discovery Channel.

Once physically realised, the flaws in these ideas tend to be humorously obvious and explain the ideas' lack of commercial success. The team then tries to come up with an improved version, thus the "bending" part of the title, meeting with varying results.
