Ode to the Trademark
I probably should have left the IP poem writing to Laura and Michael but I decided to take a stab at it. Here goes…
A trademark can be a color,
Like John Deere® green, it can’t be confused with any other.
A trademark can be a logo,
Like the Nike® swoosh, you’ll recognize it anywhere, even if you’re on the gogo.
A trademark can be product packaging,
Like the Coke® bottle, you recognize the shape, you’ll never wonder… what is that thing?
A trademark can be a slogan,
Like Bud Light®’s catchy phrase, “I Love You … Man!”
And in closing,
I- P, you P, we all P for I – P!
