Victoria's Secret Sued For Patent Infringement
« on: April 30, 2008, 10:48:05 AM »

OK, I'll give it its own thread.

Quote
A New York woman has filed suit against Limited Brands Inc alleging the parent company of Victoria's Secret stole her idea for its Very ****y 100-way strapless convertible bra. Katerina Plew sued in U.S. District Court in lower Manhattan, saying Victoria's Secret infringed her May 2004 patent and knew about the patent since at least April 2006.

"I came up with the idea when I was trying to find a bra to go with one of the two dresses that I could wear to my triplets' christening," said Plew, 38. "I went crazy looking for a bra where the straps wouldn't show and couldn't find anything." Her triplets are now nine years old. Plew, a single mother who works as a paralegal, said she researched her product visiting stores and looking through catalogues.
ONE ARTICLE

Quote
The invention claimed is:

1. An improved brassiere of the type having a garment body having a pair of cups with body-facing surfaces having free upper edges and a pair of torso bands with body-facing surfaces having free upper edges and free lower edges and extending from the pair of cups, respectively, a pair of shoulder straps having ends with S-hooks thereon, and means for separably and adjustably connecting the pair of shoulder straps to the garment body, wherein the improvement comprises: a) the means comprising a strip of fabric loops extending along, and just below so as to be hidden by, the free upper edges of the body-facing surfaces of the pair of torso bands and the free upper edges of the body-facing surfaces of the pair of cups; b) said strip of fabric loops being separated between the pair of cups so as to form a space therebetween; c) the means further comprising a pair of fabric loops overlying aligned with each other, and being disposed in said space between the pair of cups, just below so as to be hidden by, the free upper edges of the body-facing surfaces of the pair of cups; and d) the means further comprising an upper strip of material overlying said strip of fabric loops and said pair of fabric loops for preventing discomfort to a wearer.
Finally, someone makes bras ****y again.

OK, so I have decided my next career move will be Final Product Design Approval for Victoria's Secret.

I know this job exists because of this: We all know bras are designed to be ****y as well as the normal function. So who designs these things? Women and gay men, that's who. Would a strait man design a bra that's not see through? I think not. So someone has to say "Yup that one gets my wood on" or "nope, that's for grandma and Hillary".

So that being said, I am dusting off the resumeeee right now and e-mailing that *feces* to Korprate.

Yes, because it would be Bering.

LMAO
You don't count because you're not straight and Bering doesn't make sense unless the headlights were on.
