So apparently, T-Mobile owns the color Magenta.

As Adverganza reports, T-Mobile/Deutsche Telekom sent a cease-and-desist letter to Engadget Mobile for using the color magenta throughout the site.

Really? Isn’t this being just a bit over-litigious?

You’ve got one of the most popular blogs on the planet, using a color that is similar to yours. Maybe it’s even the exact same color. But I know media planners that would pay pretty good money to get this to happen. Instead, T-Mobile is alienating one of the most powerful voices on the web. And you know what? There’s going to be a lot of solidarity rising up in support of Engadget — and against T-Mobile in the process.

This is sure one way to get removed from a fave 5.
