so… a payment terminal ? Why can they patent this?

Probably because it’s on a controller. It is fucking stupid.
Payment terminal, can’t patent that. Payment terminal on a toaster? Yes you can patent that. Lol

There’s supposed to be an inventive height. Obvious combinations aren’t patentable by law. But the patent offices are all stupid and just lets it happen and force people to take it to court.
