Patent Petulance II

VIKTOR SCHRECK: We’re having a little problem with our copyright infringement lawsuit. While it turns out that we have in fact copyrighted the idea behind the “OK Button,” it seems the people we’re suing have actually trademarked the phrase. So they can countersue us if we actually use the term “OK Button” in any of our product documentation.

BOSS: This is unacceptable. I demand this be resolved immediately.

VIKTOR SCHRECK: Not to worry… we’ve trademarked an alternate phrase and are taking steps to remove any potential liability on our part.

ALEX: What the heck are you doing?

MARK: They told me to go through all our documentation and change every occurrence of the phrase “OK Button” to “Right On! Switch.”
