Letter: That colour's mine

Published 2 November 2005

From Helen Burnett

Having just noticed that the colour red is owned by the Royal Mail in the UK (Feedback, 22 October), I thought I would let you know that the colour purple is owned by Cadbury here in New Zealand. Bars of “Mrs Claus” chocolate with marshmallow and caramel filling state: “Cadbury, Mrs Claus and the colour purple are Cadbury Limited trade marks used under licence in New Zealand by Cadbury Confectionery Ltd.”
