#trademark list

DID SOMEBODY SAY PROJECT VOLTAGE TIER LIST...I just had to participate and make my own!!

Honestly I really like all the designs, I just feel that some of them are more well-executed than others? All the ones in the meh tier are good too they just feel too plain to me. You know me I like outfit designs with a LOT of detail and the colors/style are BORING

Also I've gotten too spoiled by fanmade Project Voltage designs that some of the canon ones pale in comparison to the fanmade ones,,

Ideas that crawls in my mind

John as Romeo and Santino as Juliet (Everyone Dies in Fair Verona - will I pull the MCD trigger on that one? Still unsure [evil laughter])

Santino got out of the Arrangement to become a dancer. Helen has been dead for a year when her sister, taking pity on John, brings him to that popular production Santino leads in. John is mesmerised, doesn't know what to do with all the feelings. What would a young and beautiful thing like Santino do with someone as old an sad as John? (twenty year age gap + the past catches up on them)

John is a dragon and Santino half-faery (has golden blood, literally because why not?). Dragons gets bound to the royal family to serve as warriors and slaves. Santino took a very personal interest in his dragon. It goes bad when the war between faery and human explodes.

Time to write all that? None.

But just in case.

hi, (usually) White™️ ppl of tumblr - I am on my knees Begging u to stop making poetry and oc-themed art about Palestine when u usually admit in these same posts that u don’t even have friends, let alone family or similar history there. like please could u ever read the room . I get sum of the ppl doing this r young and mean well but it’s not right . There r plenty of Palestinian users who’ve been posting poetry and art inspired by their home (and even some not ! Some users post fandom content like anime/kpop art if youd prefer) + I strongly suggest signal boosting those creators over blocking up the tags with smth that frankly . Comes off as v self-centered 😭

Della: Such a pity. Perry: Hm? Della: Oh, that a man like that should have to wait all those years to get married. Don't you agree? Perry: You've been my legal secretary long enough to know that that's a leading question.

These two have GOT to stop having conversations like this that make me want to write missing scenes.

The whole Parasite Eve: Symbiogenesis thing really IS so VERY annoying. Ugh.

Like, we all knew Square Enix was eventually going to do this crap. the way they were talking, but why?

Actually, I think a lot of us were hoping that maybe they had come to realize the idea of doing NFTs was a mistake. But nope.

Does anybody know how to report a blog for reposting? because guess what just happened to me :-)

[principleofplenitude]

Scholars maintained several arguments against issuing single color trademarks: Color depletion theory: Only around 1,867 solid Pantone colors exist; if brands all claim a color, we’ll eventually run out. Shade confusion theory: It would be hard for the consumer to determine the difference between slight shade variations of colors claimed by brands. But everything changed when this stuff came along. That, dear readers, is a piece of fiberglass insulation (the stuff that goes behind our walls) from a company called Owens-Corning. In the late 1950s, Owens-Corning was facing steep competition from other fiberglass insulation companies. At the time, all products were the same “naturally tan” hue; to distinguish itself, Owens-Corning decided to infuse their product with dye. For the next 30 years, the company used its unique pink insulation as a marketing tool: It adopted the slogan “think pink,” used the Pink Panther as a mascot, and spent tens of millions of dollars advertising the color. In 1985, after a 5-year legal battle, Owens-Corning became the first company in American history to successfully trademark a color. Ten years later, a second company, Qualitex, went all the way to the Supreme Court to defend its right to trademark its signature green-gold dry cleaning pads. The court ruled that color could, indeed, serve to identify a brand — and in doing so, opened up the floodgates for companies to file their own color trademarks. [...]  To successfully secure such a trademark, a firm must prove that a single color: Achieves “secondary meaning” (distinguishes a product from competitors and identifies the company as the definitive source of the product) Doesn’t put competitors at a disadvantage by affecting cost or quality Doesn’t serve a functional purpose
