It's a newly-filed application - they very well may.

I'm surprised the PTO didn't ding them for resemblance to Circle K: http://www.circlek.com/

One would think . . . Although chez nous we do have the east coast/west coast conflict regarding whether or not to fold. I, of course, fold, while Marc steadfastly refrains. But, as you know, I also hold down my index and ring fingers when flipping the bird.

Who doesn't need cashmere loo rolls, I always say.

When I first heard about Pristiq, I thought it was a revolutionary new treatment for the insufferably prim.

P.S. Thanks for the shout-outs, but thanks even more for the cashmere loo rolls.

Comment on Luscious, but lame

Yeah, but Honey Baked Ham is crappy - tell me what the category for that one is? And I don't mind initials if they're not generally known, but as far as I'm concerned CBS is pretty darn logical and a lot quicker to say than "caramel au beurre sale" - and the faster you can say it, the quicker you'll be tasting that salty caramel goodness!

Jessica,
How about Honey Baked Ham? That was protected. The key is to have two names for a new category -- the zippy one, e.g., Scotch Tape, the boring one "sticky tape." The originator gets to choose.
Initials of generic terms are entitled to protection if they are not generally known or used as a substitute for a generic name.

Humm... interesting,

She makes the hilton name bigger,

This may be wrong but im pretty sure more people will know paris hilton for her antics than they would know about the hotel chain..

Anyway, thanks for the post

"clueless supporters who probably said something like 'you should copyright your name to protect it . . '" Too true!
