So our friend filed for and received a design patent on just the bun. Which means that he is preventing people from making buns with decorative handles. That's the sum total of the "innovation" he is claiming.

Amazing stuff here.

This of interest only to me, but the patent is invalid because the handles are not strictly ornamental; it's a functional addition that differentiates it from a standard bun. If I were a jackass I'd file an objection with the USPTO and attach this as evidence that it's not a decorative element.
