So one can patent the resistance levels? From the USPO site

> any person who “invents or discovers any new and useful process, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof, may obtain a patent,”

https://www.uspto.gov/patents-getting-started/general-inform...

I wonder how that specific resistance level meets those requirements when basically any other nearby level would do. It's like patenting spaghettis of a given length or pizzas of a given size.
