I am more amazed that they issued that patent in the first place.

edit - sorry, mistake, I meant trademark. I didn't know that wording mistakes were downvoted so harshly.

I am amazed they can even claim a trademark over magenta, is that better?

Trademarks are not patents.

trademarks protect customers from confusion.

copyright protects the right of an author not to have their work copied (without their permission)

patents protect inventors from having their inventions used (without their permission)
