Allowing T-Mobile to "claim" the rights to a specific color that is so common wouldn't just set a n interesting precedent, it would set a dangerous one. I'm ok with certain colors or combinations being protected within an industry (e.g. UPS and the color brown fro shipping) but a boundary has to be set. What would stop IBM ("Big Blue")from preventing every other company from using the color blue? T-Mobile should wake up and realize that they are wasting money on a pointless legal action that could be better spent on branding efforts or product research.
