#skullshaver — Public Fediverse posts

Two months ago, I succumbed to the reality of my male pattern baldness and started shaving my head. No trauma, no drama. Actually, I quite like it all sleek and smooth.

So, last night I had a dream that I looked in the mirror and had a full head of hair.

And my reaction was a horrified, "OMG!!! WTF!!!"

Skull Shaver v. Ideavillage: Federal Circuit affirms, per Rule 36, the district court's (entirely correct) ruling that the accused Ideavillage product does not infringe the asserted design patent:

Remember, a design patent protects the actual shape and/or surface design that is shown in the drawings, *not* the larger design or product concept.

A district judge determined (quite correctly) that this shaving device does not infringe this design patent. The patent owner has, nonetheless, appealed: https://www.scribd.com/document/625938416/Skull-Shaver-v-IdeaVillage-Appeal-Docketed
