Pantone: Color cannot be monopolized. However, Pantone earns money with this color. How could Pantone monopolize the color industry? The answer lies in a subtle difference: Pantone does not monopolize the color itself; it monopolizes its description. To reproduce a specific color, there must be criteria (classification and combination data) and a description. This is where Pantone’s unique approach comes in. Pantone developed the “Pantone Matching System (PMS, criteria)” and monopolized the description of how printing inks should be formulated to reproduce that color. The resolution was so systematic that it eventually became a global standard. As a result, if you cannot monopolize the essence, it is better to monopolize the additive factor. In this way, business, legally, is the act of strengthening monopoly power. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The Bible's Solomon is called the “king of wisdom”. Solomon did not ask God for wealth and honor, but for “wisdom,” who knows how to rule the people and discern good and evil. This “wisdom” is called “rev showmea (לב שמע)” in the original text. Solving the meaning of this word means “listening mind” or “discerning heart.” Why do you want to hear and discern? To realize and practice. The mind is not seeing. It's to listen. There is no wisdom, wealth, and honor unless we hear and understand a person's heart and then take action.
