Re: [WISPA] Trademark on a color?

Robert, Is it wireless bread? If not, please contact Howard Stern directly. jack Robert West wrote: Imagine, if you will, some nut job (me) who had too much money (not me) and went about trade marking colors for different uses like some people squat on domain names. Could be a mess. Interesting but still a mess. I bet there are safeguards someplace for that. Has to be. I want to trademark the smell of bread. If you want to make bread that smells like bread, you need to pay me a royalty for every loaf. I bet it could partially fly, or at least get me on the Howard Stern show.

Deere has Deere green. Ridiculous as it seems it's true.

I guess in the context of a package delivery company it would stick but man, what about "shades of brown"? So I was thinking, as I randomly do, if I use every primary color in different versions of my logo and trademark them all, wouldn't that leave any other wireless company with no colors to do a darned thing with? Just seems silly to trademark a color. Can I trademark cats? Or smells? Or maybe the smell of a cat? Who would want to.
