Quoted from thedarkknight77:You are correct, but I was speaking more about the licensing issue. Color trademark is more complicated than what you are speaking of and it is done for more complicated reasons than just to protect a color. I work in an industry that has to deal with this everyday. As an example, in the case of Cadbury, they are not protecting the color as much as preventing a competitor from coming out with a chocolate bar in a purple wrapper or a private label/store brand coming out in a purple label. Truthfully you can trademark anything, but it doesn't mean that it will hold up in a court of law. In the case of BSD plastics, I think we can all agree we are safe..............And lastly.....Thanks Stu, I ordered a set of The Shadow plastics.............You are the best!!!!
When all you are doing is color trademark you can simply modify the color a bit and you are fine. I'd be more concerned with an issue around the shape of the plastics if those were somehow protected...which I doubt but you never know.
