From Uri Geller
You publish details of my patent application for a TV “reality game show” format, where contestants compete to win a baby, without offering any hint of the truth behind the application (Feedback, 26 April).
Two years ago I published a novel on the Internet, called Nobody’s Child, about just such a reality show. I was so concerned that an unscrupulous TV station would take my satirical concept and make a real show of it that I used every legal means available to safeguard the idea. This included the patent application which, belatedly, your reporter has discovered.
