So what you are saying is that anyone who encloses a letter inside a circle is in violation of the MTA trademark?By the way did you actually look it up or are you ASSUMING the trademark applies to a colorless version? According to TESS the N is trademarked as follows: Description of Mark The mark consists of a black letter "N" within a yellow circle. The Number 1 is trademarked as follows: Description of Mark The color(s) red and white is/are claimed as a feature of the mark. The mark consists of a white stylized number 1 within a red circle. Color is a claimed feature of the mark. As for the MTA being able to trademark its bullets - don't even get me started on the fact that AFAIAC it is a government agency and anything that government produces should not be subject to copyright or trademark. It isn't on the federal level, nor should it be on the state or local level. Unfortunately the law thinks otherwise. |
