The US patent office thought it was new:

>David J. Brenner and co-inventors have been granted a U.S. patent titled "Apparatus, method and system for selectively affecting and/or killing a virus" (US1078019B2).

For what that counts...



I don't think that counts for much.

Swinging on a swingset was patented (on a lark: https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn2178-boy-takes-swing-...) in 2000.
