Trademarks, acronyms, and Orwell

Trademarks, acronyms, and Orwell 05/11/2004 12:09 PM
The other day I wondered why some well-known technology acronyms -- notably UPnP -- aren't expanded on the home pages of the organizations promoting those technologies. In the case of UPnP, at least, the reason is that it isn't (any longer) an acronym:

The UPnP mark is not an acronym and should not be represented as such. The mark is a single entity that happens to consist of four symbols (i.e., letters), which individually do not have any particular meaning. [Ti ps for using the UPnP Certification Mark]

Why the switch? Apparently it's because you can't trademark an acronym. So, for example, JDBC, like UPnP, has been uprooted and now exists as a free-floating string of "symbols (i.e., letters)". JDBC is a registered trademark, and although Sun was not able to expunge all references to Java Database Connectivity from its website, the JDBC home page nowhere mentions the term. ...

Cadbury Trademarks The Color Purple, and
they're not alone

Cadbury Trademarks The Color Purple, and
they're not alone 03/25/2005 11:52 PM
Xeni Jardin: Boing Boing reader Rob says,

Because it's Easter, I find myself in the possession of a Cadbury chocolate product. What do I find on the back?

"Cadbury, ellipse device, dairy milk, the glass and a half device and THE COLOUR PURPLE are Cadbury Limited trademarks used under licence in New Zealand by Cadbury Confectionery Ltd."

All our purple are belong to Cadbury Confectionery Ltd.!

Link

Update: Kevin Fox sez

In regards to Cadbury trademarking the color purple, four years ago I was working as a boom operator on an independent film and noticed that the boom manufacturer, Mr.LongArm, had trademarked the color yellow. I thought it was funny enough to document. blog post (tangential), and photo.

MartinS in Germany says,

Check my compatriots: been there, done that. German Telecom also thinks they own the letter "T". Link one, Link two.

Thomas J. Brown says:

In addition to Cadbury trademarking the colour purple and Mr. LongArm trademarking the colour yellow, my mum used to work for an ad agency that held an account with McDonalds. They have specific shades of red and yellow that are trademarked. I've also heard tell that Mattel owns green (G.I. Joe) and pink (Barbie).
