Some shady outfit in the UK/Europe is selling inventorship in designs (being named on a "patent") to East Asian academics, where being an "inventory" can mean career enhancement and bonuses.

So, these patents, really industrial designs that are no more than a set of drawings depicting a design and protectingly only its appearance, are ostemsibly for "medical devices."  And this is where the lulz come in.

For example:
