Deutsche Telekom has been doing this for a while - that's why there's a reclaim magenta petition out there and an all-pink photo group on flickr for those of you who'd like to join the protests.
But when T-mobile stayed down south before, they were mainly concerned with German and Dutch companies. They're now going after another telco - namely Sweden's (and now Denmark's) hot pink Telia.
At least in this suit, both companies are actually providing the same service, however, the magenta's aren't quite the same.....
(sorry about the lack of posts today, busy busy you know.)

I was a Telia customer when I lived in Sweden, and now I'm a loyal Telia customer here in Denmark, so I hope they kick T-Mobile's ass. :-)I mean really, this just takes the crazy trademark issue to an even stupider level. Next Bush will try to trademark red, white, and blue, and make Britain and France (not to mention Norway and Iceland) change the colors of their flags.

Anyway, I'll root for T-mobile because look at the phones! - or wow, even better the houses all pink neon. Love it.

PermalinkI hereby claim the colour purple. It's in my name (well, nickname) and I have it on many many blogs, email accounts, etc.
Yes, it sounds as silly as claims for Magenta do...
Surely Pantone should sue someone?

PermalinkJust to be sure, you're claiming the colour purple - I will claim the color purple.
You can have it for the British speakers (and spellers), and I'll have it for the American speakers and spellers. :-)
[Of course, Alice Walker can claim prior use of "The Color Purple" (and Oprah might help defend her, as she was one of the stars of the movie)].
