"the instant lawsuit"
Authored by: SpaceLifeForm on Friday, August 17 2012 @ 05:46 PM EDT
Design patents on measuring devices and
mixing devices.

Because certainly the USPTO could never
find a "primary reference" for either.

And the instructions for mixing the water in
would almost certainly be a copyright matter.

You are being MICROattacked, from various angles, in a SOFT manner.

You sure that's a good idea? "Instant" doesn't usually connote
"delicious", and the thoroughly cooked ones aren't exactly palatable.

Love the mental image, though.

I can see a tagline like "Nobody beats Google when you only get 30 seconds
for discovery"

Might be easier to sell "Instant lawsuits" than "Preserved
porridge". Both just as unnourishing and unpalatable.

Instant cake mix

In my experience the result takes an age to digest and leaves one wondering why
it was manufactured so poorly in the first place. Its as though the
manufacturers made it without any thought of the consequences.

No... there don't seem to be any parallels to the court cases we consider.
