WHAT?!?
I am very glad to hear that the smell of strawberries is not patentable, but read the reason why:The company argued that while strawberries may look and taste different, they all smell the same, and as a result could be trademarked.
The court took a different view, and smell experts found that instead of just one aroma, strawberries can in fact have up to five different, distinct scents.
So, does that mean that this company can come back and try to patent the smell of a certain variety of strawberry?
And where was I when the below happened?
According to the Associated Press news agency, the only scent to win EU trademark protection so far is the smell of freshly cut grass.
The smell was registered by a Dutch perfume company that uses it to give tennis balls their aroma.
We may have reach the pinnacle of greed. Human race to destruct in 5...4...3...2...
