Just because you rarely encounter unpackaged goods doesn't mean you shouldn't account for even the small amount of cases where you do. Someone could have a bowl full of kitkat-shaped chocolates in a bowl at a party which you could confuse for the real deal.
- Retric 8y agoKit Kat prints their name on the bars so you really can’t. They even use Kit Kat for other shapes meaning the Kit Kat brand is devorced from that shape. PS: Have you ever seen people remove the bars at a party? That’s unsanitary.
- balfirevic 8y ago> doesn't mean you shouldn't account for even the small amount of cases where you do Yes, it absolutely means that. We're not talking about some kind of inalienable right. Trademarking such a broad thing as candy shape is heavy-handed approach which should be out of question unless there is a chance for really massive amount of customer confusion (and even then, it's arguable). BTW, in my country you can buy a chocolate that shares the shape with Toblerone. It has entirely different name and packaging and no one is ever confused.
