Ok. So say the idea of a pyramid like pillow that allows you to place your ipad on it so that it is in an upright position (see link below), could someone get a patent for a device that serves the same purpose but it is made out of plastic? It would not have to be an identical shape, but still serve the exact same purpose. Thanks peeps.
