    But the colour is owned by cadbury’s, just don’t go ‘wrapping’ any bars of chocolate in it. 😛

    Tim as far as I know its not possible to own a colour but it is possible to trademark it when linked to a product.

    The footnote of the link above sais

    quote :

    The trademark applies to milk chocolate bars and drinks only.

    Same with dayglo its been arounf longer than dynorod but you cant use it in conjunction with associated imaging ie vans in this case of similar industry
