Plagiarism in the Kitchen

by Mark VB Partridge on Sat 24 Jun 2006 08:55 AM CDT | Permanent Link

As a fan of good food and wine, I have considered from time to time starting a second blog on those interests, rarely finding opportunity for overlap with the IP topics normally addressed here. And so I took considerable pleasure today from my Saturday Wall Street Journal, which offered a tasty marriage of IP rights, exotic recipes and fine restaurants in Katy McLaughlin's article:

"That Melon Tenderloin Looks Awfully Familiar . . . Chefs say copycats are ripping them off--so some are fighting back with secrecy, lawyers; a patent for the noodles."

Ms. McLaughlin reports on the efforts to such famed food fora as Alinea, WD-50 and Moto to protect themselves. Chicago patent lawyer Charles Valauskas says that chefs are now more than 10% of his practice. Other chefs use secret test kitchens and nondisclosure agreements to protect original creations.
