Orange have already beaten you to the colour... erm... Orange?

They are in the process of suing anyone (including the Easygroup) for using excessively orange logos.

Then again I remember Easy whatever trying to sue people for the very same thing so perhaps there's some karma at play here.

How can someone claim a COLOUR as a trademark?

Dont worry some companies have already patented your genes so you don't even own yourself anymore.

Of course maybe that means your not responsible for your actions then...

My globe-trotting chocoholic daughter reports that Cadbury products Down Under aren't as good as they are here so perhaps they are welcome to their purple prose.
