It seem ridiculous to me that anyone can claim exclusive rights to commonly used words as names for their products.

I applaud Jim Jannard’s revolutionary products and I shall probably buy one of them. But if he brands them with names like Red and Scarlet to tweak the Panavisions of this world then he should expect a tweak or two in return.

Go for it LG.

PS: Here’s a thought; maybe I should sue all the hundreds of thousands of John Dawsons born and named after me.

Sadly it should not work either way. I see no reason they can not both use the name scarlet as long as its not both for camera’s
