A man by the name of Donald Quinn decided to file a patent with the Us Patent and Trademark Office (Uspto) for a product that looks very similar to the swimsuit that Sacha Baron Cohen wore in his "Borat" movie. Quinn filed three years after the film came out, obviously to make money by suing anyone who ever sells the swimsuit, despite the fact that he was not the one who created it. Uspto wasn't fooled and immediately responded with a rejection letter and a picture of Borat wearing the swimsuit to show that Quinn was not the original inventor. The funniest part is Quinn's description of the product, which states that it's relating to "medical appliances and support devices for male genitalia, and particularly to a scrotal support garment that provides support for the scrotum for patients having ailments or medical conditions affecting the genitalia or groin in order to relieve pain or discomfort.
