How A Childhood Dream Has Led to This
As a kid, I was steadfast that I would be a Disney Imagineer when I grew up. I dreamed about how other kids (and their parents too) would get to enjoy the fantasy world that I would one-day help create. The same magical world that my family would escape to every spring break.
Spoiler alert: I never became a Disney Imagineer. And, that’s OK.
I am sure most can relate because life is full of detours that take us away from our childhood dreams. It is the lucky few, however, that have their detours take them back towards their childhood dream but in a way they never envisioned as a child. Mine is about to with the launch of “Patents and Pixie Dust”.
Let me explain.
Instead of becoming a Disney Imagineer, I became a patent attorney. Out of my own curiosity, I will review patent applications filed by the Walt Disney Company as they become publicly available because the nerd in me LOVES to see and understand the technology behind the rides I love.
Starting today, I am going to be explaining patent applications filed by the Walt Disney Company and speculating about how the technology may be implemented. EVERYTHING will be based on publicly available information as I have no connection with the Walt Disney Company.
In other words, I do NOT represent Disney, nor does the law firm that I work for.
