Preschool Intellectual Property
EX. SIDEWALK - DAY
JULIA is five and walking alongside her dad, CARRICK. They are holding hands.
JULIA
If I invented something would I write a letter to someone about it?
CARRICK
(amused)
What do you mean?
JULIA
Write a letter about my invention, like what it does and what it looks like. With pictures.
CARRICK
(hesitantly)
I think that would be called a patent application…
Have you invented something?
JULIA
Umm… maybe.
CUT to CLOSE UP of CARRICK’S smirking face which he puts on to disguise the horror he feels within that his young daughter is thinking like an IBM engineer, or worse, a patent attorney.
