I saw a toilet paper holder that was missing half of its body, which normally covers the toilet papers completely. I could see the toilet papers, the bars, and a sign saying “Patent Pending”.

I thought it was strange because first, I’m not sure if it has a significant meaning for anybody other than the creater or if it can be a threat to anybody who wants to imitate it. Secondly, if that really was a message the creater wants to send the users, why is it hidden behind the cover?
