So it's funny to me that T-Mobile gets away with it. And actually, random fact, you can't trademark scents period. They only trademark the colors and designs of the packaging.

But if someone had a machine shop and wanted a similar shade close to Tiffany blue first of all Pantone wouldn't even have it available to reference from, but it could be figured out by perhaps another color agency and probably used by another industry without incident. Remember their are a million different combinations and hues etc to the extent we can measure it. But this discussion leads to other similar intellectual concerns...companies and people can own real estate on the Moon, and Monsanto can own ALL the rights to ALL GMO corn to monopolize revenue on the grain industry, and whats next patenting H20 and O2 so we'll have to pay a royalty for utilizing them also? Credit card companies do the same thing they rely on credit bureaus to report bad behavior to, so that they can can then in return use the negative information they provided to the bureau about you, against you by declining or charging you higher fees. Companies buy into the problem and solutions now. "He who cureth can maketh ill." It also isn't much different than pharmaceutical companies patenting strains of viruses so that they can build vaccines and drugs around them...I shudder to think of the day when some who has an identifiable strain of cancer has to pay a royalty for having it, in addition to paying for the curative drug itself-if its even curable, and by the way they know what causes cancer in the last 100 yrs-pollution from chemicals-its obvious-nobody's chemical companies are stopping that are they? No because someone makes money off of it. At the end of the day, all of these companies only have one thing left to make money off of and that's intellectual property. So while everybody is worried about recycling and CO2 and the planet overheating the powers that be have been patenting and cataloguing every last living virus, disease and plant and chemical in last 100 yrs in order to make money off of it in the future...Really...just think when will those in charge have enough money? Happy 2010 y'all, welcome to the future!
