    Now just how the hell is that possible?

    IF they invented a particular shade of purple or came about some proprietary way of making the color, I could see that. But to blanket statement "tradmark" a color?*********!

    Just a HEADS UP, I trademaked the word "the". Start sending your user fees to me.

    Looks like the SUNS will have to switch to orange and BEIGE.

    Oh, and I am working at trademarking green so watch out ElPolacko!

    So what you're saying is that I can no longer go into a bar and use my favorite pick up line, "Hey baby would you like***** my big PURPLE end?"

    I guess I'm gonna have to come up a new line, it stinks because the old one got me so much action.

    Well, I guess that means we will have to spell their word "perpull" and your word "tha" from now on now won't we? That way we can skirt the issue of royalties, huh?

    Maybe we should all trademark something and we'd make a bunch of dough on law suits of trademark infringements.

    What is this world coming to...anyway? Hmmm..."world"...uh huh!

    I guess I'll have to stop using the name "Puple Headed Greman Army Helmet Monster of Love"....... [​IMG]
     
  12. Crayola should have done that since they had all the shades covered. Now I guess they will be paying royalties to Royal Purple.

    I think that just stops other oil companies from using the color Purple for any of their products.
    The same way Dewalt trademarked Yellow and Black.
    The color become synonymous with the Brand.

    Okay, just to set the record straight:

    Porter, TX (June 25, 2004)—After several years in the review process, Royal Purple has received a federal trademark for the exclusive use of purple containers. Now, Royal Purple’s high-performance, synthetic automotive and industrial lubricants are the only lubricants that can be packaged in purple containers.

    Dennis, you don't have to worry about putting a Royal Purple patch on your wool coat, that is unless you got oil in it!
     
  21. Now that's a load off my mind.

    What's the difference between pink and purple?

    The grip!
     
  23. Damn, I was working on a book of beatnik poetry featuring all the words that rhyme with purple (it's a companion piece to my previous work, "words that rhyme with orange").
     
  24. As long as my whiskey can still show up in purple pouches, I am happy......

    Hypothetically I was working on a Dale Earnhardt TV movie that I am not supposed to be talking about...and his wife trademarked "3". But that's the name of the damn movie!!! So we were to use "Three" instead, but it's still pretty weak.

    That just covers lubricants for automotive applications and machinery, right? [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]
     
  28. Isn't 'silver' one of the few English words out there that doesn't have a rhyme to it?
