If there weren't so may multimeters with the same color scheme out there I would agree with you but there are.
Fluke is not the first one to use the color scheme they were just the first to apply for a patent on it.
Even if they were they didn't enforce it until now so it became the general color scheme of all multimeters not just Fluke multimeters.
- chc 13y agoI really think you're overstating your case. https://www.google.com/search?q=multimeter&safe=on&client=firefox-a&hs=KWg&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=fflb&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=_NEpU9rKNsLxoASCw4GoBQ&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAg&biw=1240&bih=615#imgdii=_ https://www.google.com/search?q=multimeter&safe=on&client=fi... Most of the ones that look like a Fluke are indeed a Fluke.
- Fuxy 13y agoWell on google images there's quite a few however if you look here [1] very few are actually a Fluke. [1] http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=multimeters http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%...
- landhar 13y agoI was just pointing out what my understanding of a trademark is and how I think it wouldn't apply for the Dell vs Macbook example. In any case, I don't think I'm qualified to have an opinion in the case being discussed here. Both because my understanding of trademark law is just a very general sense of what it is supposed to stand for and because I have absolutely no notion of what are the multimeter brands out there and what their designs look like. For what it's worth, all the multimeters I recall using at school were either all yellow or all black and I have the feeling they were always the same brand although I don't remember what that was (I studied in Europe)
