    My dad lost everything in a pyramid scheme (actually a Ponzi scheme according to the federal trial judge) and fled the state to avoid lawsuits from all his friends he got to invest in it.

    Tell ‘em to sue you. It’ll be interesting to see where Vorgon goes from there.

    The original blueprint? Guy is obviously a scammer. Wait ’til he asks for your SS# and bank account #.

    This sounds like a sequel to The Hudsucker Proxy.

    I thought Pythagoras patented the triangle.

    Obviously, he didn’t go to the right galactic department.

    The Supreme Court has identified the patenting of natural products as a judicial exception to patentability. Claims directed to nothing more than abstract ideas (such as mathematical algorithms), natural phenomena (which would certainly include geometric shapes), and laws of nature are not eligible for patent protection.

    So, Brewster is well within his rights to tell Vorgon to go jump.

    This reminds me of the Star Trek: TNG episode “Devil’s Due”, in which a scam artist said she was Ardra. I wonder if Vorgon is trying to scam Brewster (which wouldn’t be hard to do).

    Is this the same guy, who sold the Brooklyn bridge to my uncle? If the scam works once, they will keep doing it. One in every 100 pays!

    So… you invented the pyramid, eh?

    1. It’s been a while. The patent has long expired. We owe you nothing.

    2. You failed to apply for a trademark in this jurisdiction. You definitely don’t have a registered trademark. It’s far too late for you to apply, see (1) above. We owe you nothing.

    3. Prove that you actually did the original work. Hmmm… you can’t. We owe you nothing.

    We owe you nothing. If you don’t remove yourself from this jurisdiction, we will give you, free of cost, a good kicking, followed by an extensive stay in one of our very finest grey-bar hotels for attempted extortion. You have 90 seconds to be elsewhere. Starting now.

    There was a Superman comic decades and decades ago where one of the villains copyrighted the alphabet. No one could use it without his permission. That was fun.

    If Brewster doesn’t pay him, will he read his poetry to Brewster?

    Triangles are good things. We should be grateful that they invented them for us.

    There’s no trademark markings on the pyramids. Besides, if you patented the pyramid design, you’re really old.

    Is this a Vorgon collusion?

    According to Gallagher: “You look at the pyramids in Egypt. You think, now there stands an example of man’s initiative, hard work and stick-to-it, and it ain’t. It’s a monument to his laziness. It was obviously built by people with diminishing goals.” /\

    The prior art rule should shut him down.

    The pyramids have a square base, thus incorporating novel elements to the existing triangle and qualifying for a separate patent. Unfortunately, Cleopatra lost it to Mark Anthony in a game of strip Tarot. :)
