Intellectual Property and a "Wacky" Professor - Brands and Inventions in the Simpson's Springfield Universe, Part II

Co-hosts Michael Snyder and Joseph Gushue are joined by fellow intellectual property attorney and Volpe Koenig Shareholder, Randy Huis, to once again visit the town of Springfield in the fictional, but full of real fun, world of The Simpsons. Explore eight popular inventions concocted by Professor Frink and their real-world manifestations, or possibly inspirations. From the sports betting apps now flooding the airways with commercials to acid shooting projectiles, the line between fiction and reality may be thinner than you think. If you've ever thought something as outrageous as a "Sarcasm Detector," made by a yellow cartoon character, could become a reality, then this episode will have you asking "is there a patent for that?"
