I doubt you could get away with such a loose trademark in any other country - as pointed out, does it mean that the number of possible manufacturers of multimeters is limited to the number of primary colours (given that the colour of the sparkfun meters in question is actually more orange than yellow, and nowhere near the same as the "Fluke" colour)? Do you really think there is moral justification to such an action= ?
