It only applies to wiffle ball bats (and possibly other crappy plastic sporting equipment in the Whiffle Ball family). For example, I believe Hertz has also trademarked the color yellow for truck rentals.

Pink is a registered trademark for Owens Corning insulation.

Brown is a registered trademark for UPS for delivery services.

You can trademark a color if you have worked hard to make that color recognizable as belonging to your product and nobody elses competing product, and as long as the color contributes nothing to the actual effectiveness of the product. In other words, you can't trademark yellow or orange for a life jacket.

Edit: Amusingly, this thread is making the Whiffle Ball trademark on yellow even stronger by publicizing it.

That made me really scratch my head. Some folks' conclusions scare me and make me lose tiny slivers of faith in the advancement of society and humanity.

By that logic, is it safe to say "How should we expect the US Military to succeed in Afghanistan when the same damn government can't even hire competent people at the DMV?!!" ...?

NO ONE IS COMING TO GET YOU.
Unless I'm really that naïve.

Succeed in Afghanistan? Succeed in Afghanistan?


Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!

Good one!!

Actually, the DMV is a different government - State. I seriously have to say that near San Diego, we have two DMV offices near me. One in Poway, another in El Cajon.

The one in Poway is absolutely horrid - they can't find their butt cheeks with both hands, in a well-lit room. Couldn't register a brand new Chevy truck, for instance, and you wait forever.

The DMV office in El Cajon is WONDERFUL - knowledgeable, efficient. They are GOOD! Whomever is running that office, should run for Governor. No joke.

Bureaucrats just the same The notion of "succeed in Afghanistan" is a whole different bag of nails... it might be kind of like "succeeding in meeting Santa Claus."

"DMV" that's what some people are calling the national capital area. You heard it here first (unless you heard it somewhere else already.) It's gonna take off like "Beantown" "The Big Apple" and "The Windy City."

Not a lawyer . . . Sounds like a usertitle to me
