The USPTO will grant a patent if the the invention is novel, non-obvious, and "useful". Afro IP has come across a US patent description entitled "Method of stopping a stolen car without a high-speed chase, utilizing a bar code" under US patent registration number 7108178. It is described as "a safe method of stopping a stolen car without chasing at high speeds, utilizing a bar code implanted between the inner layer and outer layer of a rear safety glass is comprised of steps: 1) scan the barcode, 2) compare the read in barcode with those of the stolen cars stored in the police computer net, 3) trigger one of the three stopping means of this invention. Those three stopping means are: 1) turn off the engine, 2) puncture the rear tires with bullets, and 3) puncture the rear tires by mechanical means."
