- buro9 13y agoHow on Earth can they try and own "gram"? On it's own it is is a standard unit of measurement, but as a suffix is considered standard in English since time immemorial to reflect anything "written or drawn", it features in the word "telegram", and can be traced as a suffix back to ancient Greece. I barely understand them trying to protect "insta" considering they are using Kodak's trademark there: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instamatic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instamatic But the suffix "gram"? Their lawyers may have found some powder that came in such measurements.
