One Too Many Pink Ladies

For me, "Pink Lady" will always refer to one of Rizzo, Marty, Frenchy or Jan – together with their pink jackets and crazy wigs. What might come to mind for most, though, are the renowned Pink Lady Apples.

The Australian company Apple and Pear Australia Limited, responsible for the management of the Pink Lady brand, recently confronted Stirling Distillery over their application for a new trade mark.

The Scottish distillery had filed a UK trade mark application for a label mark comprising the word element "Pink Lady Gin" in Class 33 for "Gin; liqueurs". The Pink Lady Gin was intended to be a new addition to the distillery's "Folklore Collection", a range inspired by Stirling's mythology.
