Crayola, eat your heart out! (9 Viewers)

I was reading the back of a post-it package and I found the following (and I quote):
"Post-it" and the color canary yellow are registered trademarks of 3M.


HA! Post-it beat you punks at Crayola!

Now, what I'm wondering is.. why would someone want to trademark a color?

Hey, Don Bes, since you're celebrating all good things canadian, why don't you add Canary Yellow to the list?

So any aspiring "sticky note" makers can't capitalise on the international recognisability of the Post-It note canary yellow by using the same colour for their brand of notes

You can't patent a color.

You can't patent a color.

They didn't patent the color, they patented the name of the color, and the way in which it is used.

So Post-it can only use that color on THEIR message papers, no one else can.
