Valentine Patents For Romantic Foodies: Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and on average, 94% of the population will receive a box of chocolates.
Boring.

The real question, however, is how many people and how much money will be spent on pepperoni and cheese? In March of 2003, William C. Arbaugh, II., filed two separate design patent applications for a Heart-Shaped Pepperoni Slice (US D491,338 S) and a Heart-Shaped Cheese Slice (US D491,711 S). These were allowed in June 2004 with little to no examination. What could possibly be more romantic than heart-shaped pepperonis and heart-shaped cheese slices? Well, a heart-shaped pizza with patented heart-shaped pepperonis and heart-shaped-cheese slices, of course. Lucky for you, these patents have expired. So, call your local pizzeria and make some Valentine magic with a heart-shaped pizza topped with heart-shaped pepperoni and cheese. It is hands down one of the most original and cheesiest ways to say, ‘I love you.’
