Can I option this? I was literally hearing the Odd Couple music in my head when the sitcom thing came up.

Socal would be doing just fine without any other kind of endeavor than checking his closet all day to make sure he has every piece ever designed by TB. He is the Asparagus Heir !!

It would just be an update of this, with Cousin Thom and Eric from the island of Mypos, in Minnesotta

A little insight on what I am trying to do. I am introduding a paradigm shift from generations of menswear. What I mean is that I see fashion in the context of curved lines rather than the staight lines of traditional clothing. I believe fashion needs to graduate from algegra (straight lines ) to calculus ( curved lines) to become fashion forward . Straightline, traditional mens and womenswear has been done and done over for the past 100 years. I dont visualize fashion in straight lines but curves and shapes. I want to match a shaped collar with a shaped pant cuff or suit cuff and then add a little color from a tie , sock , or shirt cuff to create a totally unique look. The suit cuff is shaped thus allowing the color of the shirt cuff to show in a unique shape. Just like in Mathematics, Algebra and straight lines are limited to one area in space. The whole world of math and physics is ruled by the laws of calculus and curved lines because the world isnt perfect. By introducing fashion to curved lines, unique looks are infintismal. thanks EG

No you are not. You are either trying to bait members of message boards on fashion and style, or, more likely since you've posted this on all known fashion boards and gotten housed, you are a delusional masochist whose design sensibility is at the same level as his command of written English. Move forward with your life. No one here is going to manufacture your designs, and no patent attorneys are going to challenge your patents. You are going to go nowhere with your designs unless you actually do something, whether it's going out and finding a manufacturer, or whatever. Nothing is going to come to you from simply re-posting stuff on clothes forums.

RJ who cares if I capitalize or use proper grammar. I left those days back in college and high school. Most people on the internet type like they are talking to people sitting across from them . I enjoy typing in cyberbonics cause its fast and efficient. I think typing informally is more personable, so quit being so anal.

You don't respond to my main points, because you have no responses, only the same deafly repeated unsubstantiated canards. You will repeat them again, and again...

everybody does this. actually, they don't lie, they just file without doing any research, and let the uspto do the research. you're only required to disclose actual knowledge, you're not under a duty to research the prior art. actual failure to disclose, though, is grounds for lost of patent rights.

as for eg's patents, they're design patents, so the scope of what is obvious is much "smaller", i think (i don't do design patents and we're not covering them in my patent law class). so his ability to sue for infingement, even on doctrine of equivalents, would be much reduced, and possiblity limited to "exact" copies, including with relative dimensions. sort of analogous to copyright and "thin" copyrights. i would suspect that there is some possiblity that AK's pictures would not bar EG's patents. again, i'm not sure, since i work with regular utility patents.

Why does everybody ride this guy. While not strict conservative busienss dress, Eric is a man with a vision, a dream-- he is the future.

I can't believe you guys. He invented the future! He invented it! What have you done, fellow forumites? Nothing! You've done nothing! Nothing! And I will be a monkey's uncle if I let you ruin this for him! Because if you can't seen his genious, then you are blind! Die, you Kiton-worshipping scum!

I haven't even even got to the beveled pants...
