There are indeed ones that are equivalent, or even better, to the name brand ones, so it's very much a question of preference!Jani Ihalainenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17598782543339966806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893874585818636008.post-22128141187705438132023-10-30T17:40:47.932+00:002023-10-30T17:40:47.932+00:00The author of this, Jani Ihalinen, is probably not...The author of this, Jani Ihalinen, is probably not responding to this, but he says, twice I think, that generic brands are clearly inferior. I don't know about that. I think many are just as good. I just used Aldi's Goulden's knock off. It was fine. I use fake Dove Soap. Good! I can't see any reason to not use some generic type, though I guess I have been burned, too.

The difficulty would be to draw a line bet...Aaron,<br /><br />The difficulty would be to draw a line between what should be protectable and what shouldn't be. Many cereal brands could have an avenue under passing off, but that is not a statutory right, but a common law one (and even so, they'd fight an uphill battle with regards to pure color schemes and other non-distinct features).<br /><br />Whether the law should change, and indeed will change, is uncertain, but I would argue a change isn't needed. Often generic cereals are inferior quality, and one can distinguish them, albeit not immediately if one buys them in a flash. I can't see this being a pressing issue, and without proper litigation (which also seems unlikely) I can't see the change in the horizon.<br /><br />I do thank you for your thoughts though!

I looked...That is so funny, google must be psychic. I looked up how can generic cereals copy name brands after I returned from a shopping trip to, where else? Aldi's. And lo and behold, there is your article specifying aldi's when I made no mention of it in my search :) Well done google. <br /><br />Anyhow, I believe the laws on this SHOULD be changed, because it is VERY easy for someone who isn't paying close attention to simply grab a box of cereal from Aldi's thinking they're getting the name brand (Especially since aldi's also carries a few name brands mixed in with their own) while actually getting the generic. The boxes look nearly 100% identical, from the colors used, to props like the cereal bowl on the rice crispies box, even the fonts are extremely similar. They should not be allowed to do this.

IT’S SIMPLY BASED ON PUBLIC RELATIONS, PROPAGANDA, CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS AND DISTORTED VIEWS.<br /><br />“I’m shocked by what a disaster it has become.”<br /><br />And Mr. Vizard has become the unwitting mouthpiece for companies that NEVER even try to figure out if they are infringing anyone's patent and instead just throw money at their attorney to stop all infringement lawsuits.<br /><br />Look up the newegg patent litigation from last Fall to see the lies some infringers will stoop to before they get nailed in court.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
