The controversy over patenting the name 'River Table'

A craftsman tried to patent the name 'River Table' to protect his business, leading to shutting down other makers' shops on platforms like eBay and Etsy. This move sparked backlash from the community, as the patent owner was not the inventor of the 'River Table' and only copyrighted the name. The incident raised questions about the ethics and implications of such business maneuvers in the crafting community.
