Wait. So if this i patented but has no specification about hanging it the other way, would that mean that one could patent toilet paper again, but hanging the other way?

I don’t believe so. They will only award a new patent if yours is meaningfully different from previous technologies. I would suspect they would deem the other direction “not a meaningful difference.”
