It's ironic that Einstein couldn't file a patent on relativity.

To whoever downvoted this:

I think eyeforgotmyname was saying it was ironic considering Einstein worked in a patent office, not that he thought Einstein should have been able to patent it.

It was a joke. You were supposed to laugh.

It's ironic that a joke about Einstein has to be explained.
