Many of us are searching for a unicorn of one kind or another, but inventor Timothy Zell did something about it. On February 7, 1984, Zell received U.S. Patent No. 4,429,685 on a Surgical Procedure (for making unicorns).

If you don’t feel like making your own unicorn (don’t worry the patent has expired so you don’t have to worry about infringement), Lake Superior State University will issue you a license to hunt your own — apply at: Unicorn Hunting License Request Form | Lake Superior State University.
