T-mobile is suing Dutch software company and radio channel for using color Magenta.
T-mobile registered the color Magenta at the European patent office a short while ago. Now it is suing small companies in the Netherlands to test its case. According to T-mobile, companies are not allowed to use the color for marketing purposes, website and other communication.
It's unclear when T-mobile will start suing in any of the other 19 European countries where they registered the color.
This is only for the European Union right? Does anyone know the US copyright/patents laws regarding color patents? It seems farfetched to be able to patent a color.
