I’m working a bit late to get some additional material for my research adviser (read: boss) and while researching Terms of Service Agreements, I came across the case Van$ Money Pie Inc., 47 U.S.P.Q.2d 1020 (N.D. Cal. 1998). For some reason, I’m just not used to seeing symbols in case names. At first I thought it was a Lexis formatting error, but then I realized that it was just a character in the company name.
That got me thinking. If I ever start my own company, I should name it something to really screw with Lexis/Westlaw searches. Maybe something like:
L! L! L! Love or of atleast57(His!) /3 Pancakes
What do you think? Flows off the tongue, right? Amusingly, the proper search for that name would be “love and pancakes.” Could life be any more right than that?

Is there public documentation on that search syntax? I’m curious…
Also, your company name reminds me of Little Bobby Tables:
Right, that was supposed to be a link. Little Bobby Tables
Haha. If only xkcd didn’t have the monopoly on drawing stick figures. No one does it quite like him.
Funny thing…I already have a post named love and pancakes. I’m the first hit on google in a search for “love and pancakes”.
Well, if my girlfriend didn’t read these threads, I may have had to ask you out. In the meantime, you have wonderful taste.
