Can You Violate A Patent With 16 Characters On An M&M?
from the challenges... dept
It's that holiday time and the makers of M&M candies have decided to let you print your own message on an M&M -- limited to 8 characters each on two lines (which seems pretty tight for the size of an M&M anyway). It's not surprising that there's a ton of legalese added about what you can and cannot print in your 16 characters, but as LawMeme points out, how exactly would someone go about violating a patent in those 16 characters?

I suppose they don't want to be held as liable, but I can go to any print shop in the country (or use any laser printer in the world) and violate as many trademarks as I like.... without the print shop or printer mfg (or paper maker) being held liable.
