Any search engine would be a good start. I tried Google with the words "oddest" and "patents" and here is one of the links as given by Google:

If you are thinking of patenting daydream charms, they are already patented...by Fred and George Weasley (p. 117 in the latest book "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince"). :-) While I am on the book, it was too bad that Professor Snape did not patent his inventions (p. 604) and therefore, he couldn't legally prevent Harry Potter from using his inventions, assuming that there exists the system of intellectually property rights in the Wizarding community. :-)
