Tight Jeans And Blonde Hair
We were instructed to attend the World Championship Quarter
Horse Show and investigate a company that was potentially
selling a horse trailer with a latch that infringed our
client's patent. The offending trailer latch was advertised
as appealing to women with long fingernails. We sent our
resident "dumb blonde" in a pair of tight jeans,
cowboy boots to Oklahoma and had her visit the horse trailer
displays with her hands glittering with fake fingernails.
She determined that the company in question was not "able
to get into the horse show" but had a sales office
with horse trailers on display less than one mile from
the championships. Our investigator visited the target
company and was given a demonstration of the trailer latch's
functionality which included a black plastic rectangle
in the wall of the trailer, into which one can reach on
the right, pull it out, and the left side dips into the
trailer wall and releases the divider from a groove in
the trailer wall. We asked other specific questions requested
by our client regarding the horse trailer and latch, collected
business materials and photographs, saddled up and went
on our way. Done deal.
