Colour trademarks

IPKat reports on a UK trademark decision involving the use of color as a mark: When a Single Colour is the Prior Mark

The IPKat brings news of an interesting Trade Mark Registry decision concerning an opposition based on a registration of a colour per se. Orange Personal Communications is the proprietor of two marks for the colour orange in the form of Pantone 151 and a colour sample, applied to the visible surface of packaging or promotional materials etc, where it is the predominant colour.
