Hello and
happy, sweet, new year! As bitter as it
may sound, chocolate and candy companies also are in the game of lawsuits. They are fighting over trademarking of colors
and shapes…Nestle recently won a case that Cadbury had against it trying to
stop the trademark of the Kit Kat bar. Cadbury
had earlier on won a case against Nestle over the purple color. Moreover, Haribo, the gummy bear maker, is
ruling against Lindt to prevent it from making its planned chocolate bears
wrapped in gold-foil.
The “law of
exclusivity” applies in this case, too.
Nestle has the exclusive ownership of rectangular, finger bars; Cadbury
of the color purple and Haribo of the teddy bear…
