Go RPattz! And also RPattz!

You know, I was already half-fangirling Robert Pattinson for his fabulous comments about Edward Cullen (and for probably being responsible for the leaking of Midnight Sun).

And now, I'm absolutely fangirling Judge Robert Patterson, for managing to be snarky and awesome in the middle of dry legalese.

Mostly, I'm just loving the idea of a whole set of lawyers and judges having to do extensive research into Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans...

The interesting thing is how close the decision appears to have been, and the suggestions you can glean from it if you want to publish such a lexicon. The decision lists all the things that were in its favour and all the things that were against it, and you could easily use them as a check-list to make sure you're legal (at least in the US / 2nd Circuit). Some of them would've made it better (be consistently scholarly, avoid sloppy entries where you just quote large chunks of the original), some of them worse (don't copy from the author's own A-Z works), but all of them easily doable.
