Stupid Thinking

record purse

I went to the tapestries art festival in San Jose on Monday. One of my goals was to take photograph of cool products. The first one I found was the Record Purse. It was kind of cool. When I pulled my camera out the guy jumped in front of me and said no photos. He said that it was patented product and that his wife wanted to protect the design. I said that the patent protects the design. I told him I was only going to post a photo because I thought it was cool and that would promote his product. He said that he is only doing what his wife said.

If I wanted to steal the design of the purse I would have just bought one and reverse engineered it.
