- Premise
The Cadbury brothers thought to pick the colour as a tribute to Queen Victoria, and has been used on their chocolate wrappers for more than 100 years.Cadbury was granted a trademark for the purple (Pantone 2685C to be precise) to be used on certain chocolate goods, such as the iconic dairy milk. It took four years to get this for which cadbury’s had applied for it back in 2004. But nestle
challenged the ruling, arguing that the colour was not distinctive enough to receive a trademark. But luck was on
cadbury’s side and Allan James from the UK Intellectual Property Office, claimed that the colour showed enough
“distinctive character” for a trademark. He believed the colour purple had been central marketing to the brand,and used in advertising campaigns to distinguish it. The belief that a brand colour can have so much resonance with consumers has become true.
