A Musical Shout-Out to the Patent Bar
A reader drew a legally-themed music video to our attention:
It's from a specialized patent blog, but some of your readers may find it funny -- especially because is an actual partner from a large firm singing the song. Is this a new BigLaw marketing trend?
Check out the video via Patently O. As you can see from the lyrics, the song is a comparison of dating to the Patent Act.
Performer Lana Knedlik, a fine-boned, pixieish beauty, looks like she could be an indie film actress or Indigo Girl. She strikes us as considerably younger and more attractive than the average (1) registered patent attorney or (2) partner at a large law firm.
(No offense to patent lawyers or Biglaw partners. We're just sayin'...)

First. And Patent law is boring
I am a patent lawyer and I am offended.
Who is the "First" ass monkey on every post? Get a life.
Patent law is boring? ROFL! And tax law/corporate law/securities law is exhilirating!!!!
At least patent litigation is very profitable and a growing practice area.
wait for it.... wait for it.......
wait.... come on now.....
Not nice David... not nice atol.
Was she in "Eight is Enough" during the late 1970s?
i am a patent lawyer and i am amused.
patent law is both boring and incomprehensible. there is no way you can understand it, so please stay far away from it and leave it to those of us who understand and enjoy it.
Honestly, I'm pleasantly shocked everyone's so well behaved. Not one single ad hominem re Knedlik. I thought that this thread would have been closed minutes after posting.
How about the song about her firm:

her bio pic is more flattering than the video. she's cute, rather than hot.
Thank you David. I appreciate your kandor.
Also here is an engagement photo:

She's on the right.
More treating objects like women. Thanks Lat.
I'd hit it twice. Non-consecutively.
Grover - I thought you were gay??? Something change down there in DC???
3:21 -- You're thinking of Chester A. Arthur. Fruity as a stack of strawberry pancakes. Mmm...pancakes...
from college, to law school, back to college? wtf?
It's Stinson Morrison in KC. As a "partner" there, she'd be lucky to clear $200k in total comp. She's a non-story.
