Just seen on law blog Volokh Conspiracy, from contributor David Post:
<--
And speaking of patent humor: If any of you happen to find yourself in
Philadelphia on Friday [STEPHEN COLBERT, TAKE NOTE!!] I'm going to be
playing over at Doc Watson's bar (11th betw Locust and Walnut) at a
Temple Law School "Happy Hour," (5-7 PM), and will present the WORLD
PREMIERE PERFORMANCE of "Francis Barnes' Underwear," surely the greatest
(because the only) rock and roll song based upon a 19th century patent
law case from the Supreme Court. (As you patent aficianados might have
guess from the title, the song explicates Egbert v. Lippmann, 104 US 333
(1881), a case holding that an inventor's placement of a single
corset-spring into his girlfriend's corset constituted a "public use" of
the new spring design). Come on down!
