    Samco Hoses - Colour Patent

    Is it tru Samco hoses have patented the colour of their hoses. I dunno where i've heard if but apparently the blue is patented. Not sure about their other colours.

    I don't see why not but you have to remember only the exact shade will be patented. It's like the way Police cars are usually sprayed in their own version of white.

    not that anyone would want to build a engine like that anymore mind.****e design and really can't believe they've not even attempted to keep up with modern engine design.

    You can not patent a colour, but you can register a name of a colour as a trademark, for example, Barley White is a registered trademark of ICI (Dulux)

    Anyone can make blue silicone hose.
