- futhey 7y agoTLDR; Clickbait headline. This is a fairly common practice. T-Mobile has filed and enforces a color mark, a type of trademark, as do many other corporations, for a specific shade of pink known as RAL 4010.
- ksaj 7y agoThe clickbait headline absolutely ignores the following from the article itself: > Don't confuse the term "trademark" with ownership of color though. Trademarking a color simply allows a company to use a particular combination and shade of color in its own industry. > Target can't sue Coca-Cola for using a similar red, because they are not selling competing products.
