Re: Fight for your right to make Double Creme humbuckers! Mark   About Coke. They are the only Cola company to use that "Swirl" or "wave" mark. That is one of thier Trademarks...not the colour, in this case.   Pepsi uses the Red and Blue "Globe" mark....in this case, it's the design AND the colour.   These are just two examples I can think of...mainly because I drink a LT of Coke.   I believe the headstock shapes of Fender and Gibson's are also trademarked.     I have spent the better part of five years reasearching this Creme trademark...in this case, it's only the colour. The use of slightly different shaded Creme bobbins is not permitted.   It's purpose is to instantly identify a creme coloured humbucker as beign a Dimarzio.     This would seem to mean that..say I were a pencil or comb manufacturer...I could trademark the color yellow for pencils..or red for combs..and no other pencil or comb maker could make them in that colour.     Wolfe
