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”
Don’t give advice recklessly. Only offer it to those who can truly listen. When someone who hears advice chooses to ignore it, it signifies that they are dismissing the adviser and will rely only on their own judgment. While behavior remains unchanged, asserting that they can understand the advice also reflects an attitude that undermines the adviser’s personality. The lack of behavioral change indicates that the person did not grasp the advice. Advice holds greater power for the listener than for the adviser.
