Tony Who?
In Unfair Competition today we began our discussion of trademark with the fountainhead industry of trademark disputes, breakfast cereal.
Professor Unfair Competition: What about frosted flakes? Sugar coated corn flakes. Anyone can call their cereal frosted flakes because it's such a generic, descriptive term, right?
Young 3L two rows in front of me: But maybe 'frosted flakes' has acquired a secondary meaning. Doesn't everyone think of Kellogg's Frosted Flakes. They have that, that creature on the box.
Prof UC: You're referring, of course, to Tony the Creature.
Class erupts in laughter.
