Thanks for the info. but to be honest I do not see anything here that really applies to this situation. They are entitled to trademark their bullets as they had in TESS, but their registration only states the route number in the specific color. This rule here does not say it is for colorless or not. They cannot again trademark that otherwise a lot of companies will be in trouble. Ok, now, if I saw that shirt and was in SF I would not think it was a bash on anyone else but MUNI as the bullet colors & line repesentations correspond directly to MUNI. Even if I saw that shirt here I probably would not even think of it against the MTA as the bullet colors are wrong. But, I will give you that some may take it the wrong way but you know what? The shairts is a parody, something funny not facts. |
