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”
Only ‘things you know wrong’ are considered stereotypes, but ‘things you know for sure’ can also be stereotypes. With knowledge, it is easy to say ‘wrong-RIGHT-words.’ However, there is no “right answer” in the world. There are many ‘answers’ to one problem, and we often have difficulty finding an answer among them. Stereotypes do not discriminate between ‘right’ and ‘wrong.’ Stereotypes, in themselves, only imprison our thoughts. Trapped thinking finds only limited answers. Perhaps you can’t find it forever.
