Surely they donāt own the colour
Was reading this before what I donāt get is how can you have a GLOBAL right to a color. Iāve dealt with lemonade before to be honest and the color is not too far off.
Thereās rich people and thereās wealthy people. You know your wealthy when you own colours. This is a disgrace that this is even being considered. Colours should not be able to be copyrighted full stop. Itās like copyrighting nature, EU dopes will no doubt hold it up in the EU for them canāt see it working globallly.
On the face of it, I didnāt think there was a clash in terms of business offerings here.
However, it seems that:
Deutsche Telekom, it seems, actually does dabble in insurance. It offers insurance on digital services like cybersecurity, and it sells policies to cover your tech gadgets, and specifically devices ā carriers, of course, being major resellers of smartphones, tablets and other electronics that are used over their networks.
I love the Lemonade Instagram btw, very cool!
Well, they won a colour case in the US against AT&T. Nothing to do with the EUā¦
Duetsche Telekom did? How many colours do these f*** own?
EU will uphold their use of āmagentaā here is what I meant talking about lemonade and not previous lawsuits over crayons
Yep, their subsidiary t-mobile usa did.
They only own their āmagentaā though.
Oh ye thatās right I remember them on the Bayern shirt a few years ago and their advertising. Just googled T-Mobile still have a Magenta phone plan. Doesnāt look to have have deterred them much.
Itās not just āmagentaā they think they own:
@antsca that is crazy. How can you copyright a couple of RGB numbersā¦hope this gets thrown out
First person I read that trademarked a color was Jay-Z
Seems like they think they own every shade of pink, In an ideal world they get thrown out of court. In this age of dumb legal decisions who knows?
Interesting timing.
This was published yesterday: Digital bank Monzo fails in attempt to trademark signature colour - Financial News
Royal Mail, UPS and Cadbury all have colour trademarks.
I heard Cadbury lost theirs.
One annoying thing about trademarks is that you can lose your trademark if you donāt ādefendā it. Thatās probably one reason why T Mobile are being quite aggro about it.
Hm but monzoās hot coral trademark failed.
