This New York Times opinion piece investigates the question of whether the color red can be trademarked and enforced. The op-ed is right in drawing attention to the absurdity but wrong in calling for a comprehensive package of legislation for fashion. How about a free market instead?
P.S. I would add the cool image from the NYT story but these days who knows anymore what might get you arrested at gunpoint?

The Center for the Study of Innovative Freedom (C4SIF) is dedicated to building public awareness of the manner in which so-called “intellectual property” (IP) laws and policies impede innovation, creativity, communication, learning, knowledge, emulation, and information sharing. We are for property rights, free markets, competition, commerce, cooperation, and the voluntary sharing of knowledge, and oppose IP laws, which systematically impede or hamper innovation. IP law should be completely and immediately abolished.
We provide news commentary and analysis and scholarly resources from our unique pro-property, pro-market, pro-innovation perspective.
