I Picked the Wrong Field of Law

Who knew that patent disputes could be so, um, stimulating. Salon has a fascinating article (available for free if you watch an ad) about an ongoing patent dispute involving the "legendary Pleasure Plus" condom. Introduced to the world 15 years ago by an Indian doctor and condom engineer, he lost the rights to the patent when his company went bankrupt. Never mind, he's designed similar pieces for other companies, who are now being sued by the holder of the original patent.
