It’s only within the context of professional wrestling. Verizon has a trademark on the color red, but it’s only within the context of cell phones.
Its also a very hyper specific hex code of red, and any minor difference even a single hex digit difference is enough to not infringe, unless it is in combination with other marks they have.
They dont have just “red,” its like they have exactly #FF0A0A or whatever.
Business colors are very specific and deviate from other types of protection marks like that, for good reason. They need the extra “resolution.” (IYKYK)
On the other hand, Sky TV somehow managed to successfully sue Microsoft to force them to rename SkyDrive.
World Wildlife Fund successfully got WWF to switch to WWE. Now they have to blur out their own logo on old matches. It’s quite bizarre.
Rockstar:
The items listed in the “Goods and Services” section of the link are wrestling/sports entertainment related, so this should not conflict Rockstar’s trademarks around GTA Vice City, if that’s what you’re thinking.
Was about to say, isn’t that the same shit that brought about the WWE from the WWF.
