Are You a Virgin?

In a very creative analogy, Victoria Pynchon, hosting the Blawg Review #171 at IP ADR Blog, writes:

"If intellectual property had a theme song it would have to be "Like a Virgin." 

Why?

Because IP is all about "the very first time," the "aha" moment, the creative spark that gives rise to previously undreamed imaginings.

The restrictions of "how we've always done things" fall away and the numbing repetition of days become vibrant.   

The rest, of course, is work.  Trial and error.  Success.  Failure. Rearranging the disaligned.  Completion.  

Then the suits arrive. That's us, the lawyers.

In honor of the moment of creation at the root of every intellectual property dispute, this week's Blawg Review No. 171 gives you the great virgins of history.

So read more about the Great Virgins of History.

And if the big tour of Virgins is too much, Victoria has complied the Executive Summary of Great Virgins.
