This is from the US Trademark search NO CLAIM IS MADE TO THE EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO USE "COBALT" APART FROM THE MARK AS SHOWN They can only Trademark the style of the word. IE: their logo. Nobody can trademark the word cobalt, because it is a shade of a color. It is like trying to trademark the name Navy (like Navy Blue) or trying to trademark an actual color.
Not being a trademark lawyer, I can't help but wonder why they didn't reserve it when referring to products they manufacture <smile>?
Good for you, though <smile, again>. Jeff -- Jeff Lasman <jblists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
