Can a company own a color?

Cadbury Schwepps has been in court arguing that a competitor cannot use the color purple for their candy bar wrappers since 2005.

An Australian Federal court recently ruled that they do not own the color and that others can package their products in purple as well...

Cadbury did not like the ruling so they have filed an appeal... http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/04/11/2214856.htm

We'll see what happens...
