The invention that was awarded this historic patent is a system and method of collecting and conditioning rainwater and other moisture from a windshield of a vehicle and utilizing the collected fluid to replenish the fluids in the windshield washer reservoir. Undeterred by my inaccurate prediction on when the USPTO would issue Patent No. 9,000,000.
