Gold at the End of the Rainbow

Interesting opinion in the news about the exploitation of Pride month by companies slapping the rainbow emblem on clothing and produce and taking all the profit. Some large companies displaying Pride support for a few weeks and doing nowt for the next 11 months just to prove their inclusive credentials. Some companies do support with monies going to LGB causes but is it mostly a money making exercise. Where does the gold at the end of the Rainbow go?

Not just that, kind of sick of these massive money making corporations jumping or on all these social justice campaigns to virtue signal.

How about you just tell me about your product please.

They also do it for children in need comic relief, book day...

End of the day if the companies weren't making the stuff In the first place, they would not be giving any money to charity at all from selling it.

I didn't think they could use the emblem with out donating to the charity.

The rainbow flag isn’t trademarked, however some companies have trademarked their normal logo with a rainbow design within it. A specific colour isn’t trademarked on its own it has to be part of the wider design / logo

So they can't sell something with the pride emblem on it with out donating to them which is what i thought, but OK to look as if it were kinda thing? I get that.

No that isn’t what that means.

A trademark protects a company name, logo design from being used by another company or anything confusingly similar; a patent protects the design, ingredients, invention or specific mechanisms of a product.

Not all of those who use the symbol during June donate to the charity, but many do

I dont tend to buy all the jazz they do for all the various charities as I donate to a couple regularly, but if I do I will always make sure to check the labels properly now. That's a bit sneaky. Cheers for that
