Hmm... Maybe the patent was poorly reviewed. I believe it is invalidateable...
I met her at 7osme.

How can write a patent including the a plain waterbomb pattern with no publication citations? If you design it, yes, of course, but there are so many examples of prior art in academic literature as well… looks like one can file for any origami pattern they like. See Figure 18… also Figure 11. Wow, one only needs to look at Fuse’s Spiral book for prior art. https://jiangmeiwu.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Final_Published_Patent_JiangmeiWu.pdf does anyone know the inventor? best, Matthew
