How is that a real patent? As far as I can tell (and I'm not a lawyer), they're patenting mixing protein, carbohydrates, fats, and water in specific ratios to make a meat substitute. Why isn't every veggie burger ever prior art in this case?
It's just an application for a patent. It was rejected on 2/20/15. Now it's just kept around as prior art.
They also requested and then denied a refund on their filing fees apparently. Cause it's a really stupid patent.
