Kemper Profiler Head is patented design

Quote from BayouTexan

I have patented this shape. Anyone using it must pay me royalties. That includes anything with volume and tone knobs, and also includes avatars and smilies.

Have you seen the Coen Brothers' Hudsucker Proxy?

I loved those scenes where Tim Robbins' character tried to explain his invention with the aid of your patent application (or something more or less the same). And the marketing guys spitballing product names between shots at a hoop in the office etc and the precipitous rise and later fall of the new craze.
