WarpGear received this letter from Pantone:
We are writing to you from the Licensing Department at Pantone, Inc ("Pantone").
We have recently learned that WarpGear Software (the "Company") has been offering on
its Web site www.warpgear.com (the "Website") a
freeware product titled "Pantone Color Look up" (the "Product"), utilizing and/or
reproducing and/or referencing colors from the PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM (the "Pantone Property").
As you are most likely aware, the Pantone Property was created and developed by Pantone
for the selection, specification and control of colors. Pantone has invested significant
creative and financial resources in developing the Pantone Property, and has well-established
copyright and trademark rights in the selection and arrangement of the creative content
comprising the Pantone Property.
In addition, Pantone has invested significant resources in advertising its products to
existing and potential customers under its marks PANTONE, PMS and other marks used in and
designating the Pantone Property, including the designators for the components of such property.
As a result, the Pantone Property has become recognized in the marketplace as an exclusive
product of Pantone. Pantone's intellectual property rights relating to the Pantone Property
represent enormous good will, belonging exclusively to Pantone, and are extremely valuable
assets of Pantone.
Pantone permits certain usages of the Pantone Property and/or its trademarks pursuant to
written license agreements. As no valid licensing arrangement exists between the Company
and Pantone, we must insist that the Company cease the Usages.
