He also saved the shit show that was the 2002 Olympics . I like the man , but he has too many globalist neocon ties these days .

I haven ' t looked up their trademark , and I ' m not super well versed in it , but trademarks apply to categories of products .

So if you wanted to put the red and white stripes on something else in an unrelated categoy and TM it yourself , you could do so in that category . It is to help protect other people from making products that look just like yours in the same categoy to piggy back off your success etc , which in all fairness , is exactly what Fine and PAA did with those two products .
