He sat down at his computer. He filled the patent form with a flourish. His brow furrowed at the message that appeared on the screen: "Duplicate patent found." His enthusiasm flatlined. The sounds of his friends faded as the blood drained from his face. He felt like someone had just dropped a weight on him.
