Seventh-Day Adventists Lose "Granola" Trademark Fight in Australia
Cereal company owned by denomination trademarked the word in 1921; federal judge says it's too commonplace now.
Sanitarium Foods, a cereal company owned by the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Australia, has lost its two-year legal battle to keep Australian bakeries, restaurants, and grocery stores from using the word "granola."
The denomination trademarked "granola" as an "invented word" in 1921; this week, a federal judge disagreed, saying the word can be "easily found in dictionaries," reports Adventist Today.
The Adventist church plans to keep defending its intellectual property.
Comments
"Contempt of Court" used to be a serious crime, but more and more it is the conduct & decision making of the courts themselves that bring the whole judicial system into community contempt. This appears to be (yet) another example of vested interests controlling the judicial decision making.

If you must insist on using that captcha anti spam nonsense al least have the decency to make it readable.
This one below is "task" then is it "isessaA"? or "isassaA"? or "isesgaA"??

Next to the area where you type the captcha verification there are three buttons. The top one with cycling arrows will give you a new captcha phrase if the one you have is unreadable.

Also FYI Beamer - you only have to get one of the words right for recpatcha based captchas - normally there is one word that you CAN read, do that once correctly. Then type in several random letters. You'll have about a 90% success rate.
