jezter6 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 If you find the lawsuits themselves against Taqseem (Tonic), you'll see a ton of them they claim... Like Royal Grape, White Peach, SWEET MELON, guava... I'm wondering how one can trademark a flavor name that's in use in normal use for the actual fruit..?

king_lunchb0x Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 i understand that they should have the right to protect their signature flavors like blue mist, but i just dont get how they can on names of fruit...i dont know anything about business and trademarks but it just dont make sense. melon is melon how can you own rights to it..

Venger Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 the list I found. I assume the serial number is the request and the reg number is the ones granted so far.

Rambo Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Interesting to see that they trademarked some of their names about two years before use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield03 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Starbuzz isn't exactly a wonderful company in terms of ethics, quality, or price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorlyfish Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Not a lawyer, but a thought: I know you can copyright things like colors within an industry... for example, another cell phone company can't use T-Mobile's signature pink color, but an unrelated industry (say, an airline or a cookie company) could use the same color. The idea is not to create confusion within the market.. same reason you can't just open up a pizza chain called "Papa Jon's". I assume that's Starbuzz's claim to things like guava or sex on the beach. It's not that they own the drink or the fruit, but they are claiming that other shisha companies making the same shisha flavor and calling it the same thing creates confusion in the market that could detract from their customer base. They wouldn't have a case against guava candy or candles or something, just against other companies in the same industry. Still think its BS to copyright non-unique flavors like melon, but I assume that's their legal grounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
