that said, they cannot "own" magenta, they have no rights to that color


however, they may be able to copyright certain uses of the specific pantone color they use.]]>Nov 9th 2007 6:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/09/know-your-rights-does-t-mobile-really-own-magenta/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/09/know-your-rights-does-t-mobile-really-own-magenta/would Engadget Mobile be affected in any way?
The logo has the same color!

Oh, no!

If the above isn't happening, you will be VERY hard-pressed to find a court that will rule in T-Mobile's (or UPS, or anyone else's) favor.]]>Nov 9th 2007 5:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/09/know-your-rights-does-t-mobile-really-own-magenta/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/09/know-your-rights-does-t-mobile-really-own-magenta/
It might be more of an issue if people were actually buying the Zune. zing!]]>Nov 9th 2007 5:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/09/know-your-rights-does-t-mobile-really-own-magenta/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/09/know-your-rights-does-t-mobile-really-own-magenta/

I don't really recall making any Apple fan-boy statements in that comment. You must have difficulties reading. Are you from Texas by chance? At least you picked up on the fact that I was mocking the Zune though, good job! I hope you are having a blast with "the social". It sure sounds like a really good time.

So for the rest of you that are literate, here is a link of some interesting sales stats on the Zune from Woot. It's pretty funny.

So that particular chemical composition is patented by UPS.
UPS isn't the only one to do it. There is an artist, whose work I have seen recently, revolved around composing a smart blue. It was a smart blue, It hurt to look at it. It was amazing and beautiful and painful, beyond description. The point is, however, the color was found by working with chemists to find the composition of chemicals that would yield a color.
