Second, Derby pie is copyrighted. So even if you baked a similar tasting pie, you’d have to call it something else: Steppingstone pie, or Bluegrass Stakes pie, or Gerby pie. And the copyright is jealously guarded, as several local bakeries and restaurants have discovered. Reports that so-and-so is purporting to sell Derby pie, when in fact he isn’t, a brief visit from the Kerns’ lawyer rectifies the situation quickly.
