Patent Pending

So let's start from the beginning. Patent Pending isn't just a design company. It's a worldwide force. A power to be reckoned with. An organization with so much control over the entertainment business that it cripples the minds of the effete intellectual elite. From an organization that started in their parent's garage with nothing but promise, ideas and $500 to buy a computer, Patent Pending is now a business that is ubiquitous alongside brands such as Sony, Bed Bath and Beyond or Mr. Pibb. And yes, they do accept American Express.

Jeff Kleinsmith and Jesse Ledoux met while whizzing tomatoes at oncoming trucks that blew by their houses which were next door to each other in the Seattle suburbs. And as you can imagine, they became quick friends. Within a few weeks, they set their aim on throwing tomatoes at design firms. Literally! And of course, that didn't last very long before they were asked to stop. By lawyers.

So armed with their boyish good looks, devious creativity and a handful of bottle rockets, Jeff and Jesse started Patent Pending Industries. Originally located in an abandoned warehouse on Seattle's lower upside, they set out to reinvent graphic design one pixel at a time. It didn't take long before the entire globe was shaking in their boots when the name "Patent Pending" was muttered. And to avoid lawsuits, they only run a smoke-free work place in their minds.
