insurektion Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 i think the phrase involving pink in that industrie is regestered. like if a made a mcdonalds that sold carpet or anything non food related i could get it registered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insurektion Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 oh and they make the pink insulation which is like the only identifyable thing about the fiberglass. So ya that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackwanders Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 I think they're actually making a difference between the color pink, and "the color PINK". I think it's capitalized for a reason...it's more of a phrase the company uses than the actual color. That's my guess anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xRKx Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Insurektion hit the nail on the head. PINK is a /trademark/ of the Owens Corning corporation. They don't own the colour pink, or PINK, or anything of the sort. A trademark is merely a registered symbol, design or phrase which is used to distinctly identify their product from the competition. Like Insurektion pointed out - their fibreglass insulation is PINK (the all-caps seems to fit with how shockingly pink the stuff is,) and that's how you can identify it. (Of course, every single bit of fibreglass insulation I've seen in my life has been shockingly pink - does that mean it's all Owens Corning? Erm, well, I don't have a clue - it wouldn't surprise me though.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
