Boat anchor
Oct. 24, 2006Case reading has proven to be fun. I came across one case where they were disputing the arbitration term of the contract between a consumer and a computer company. One party relied on a case law which was about software sales, then the other party argued that it shouldn't apply to computer sales. The court said it should apply as computers are usually loaded with software when they are sold, at the very least there should be an operating system. Then I saw the most innovative inspiration in the court opinion where they said "The computer came with an operating system, without which it was useful only as a boat anchor". http://jzhu200609.spaces.live.com/mmm2006-09-13_01.00/rte/emoticons/smile_teeth.gif
Have you ever thought to use this expensive boat anchor? Should someone file a patent application for the new use of the computer?

Those court decisions are ofter written by law clerks not the judges themselves. It usually very dry and boring but they sometimes embed this kind of humor there to wake their readers up:-D
