Important ridiculous thing

Have you ever seen yourself in a career in intellectual property rights? The thrills, the excitement, the documentation!

That is the trademark application for ImageMagick's wizard thing. Note that it was rejected not once, but twice, for being in gray without mentioning gray. The Patent Office does not like gray!

The process seems to have taken just under two years. I mean, can you imagine?

Worse from the patent office person's perspective, I suppose, having to constantly write tedious missives about the forbidden non-colour.
