Patent No. Des. 376,811
Issued: December 24, 1996
Inventor: Allen Lowe
First, the Groucho Nose, now Elvis Sideburns!
In Law for High Growth business class we discuss some interesting topics. Recently we learned about Patents and Trademarks. Professor Zach Shulman is a Lawyer and Venture Capitalist. We all of his industry experience he has many interesting stories about each subject. At times its difficult to get through class because so many questions come up from the class.
If you want to see more unusual patents like the Elvis Sideburns check out http://www.bpmlegal.com/weird.html. Professor Shulman brought in a partner Brown & Michaels, PC to add to the Patents discussion. The partner shared many interesting patents - you only have to have a product that has Utility (no matter how small) and is Novel.
Needless to say the discussion was a little more lively than our Warrants and Convertible Debt financing.
