Banksy loses battle with greetings card firm over ‘flower bomber’ trademark
Banksy has lost a battle with a greetings card firm over the trademark of one of his most famous works. North Yorkshire-based Full Colour Black challenged the artist’s right to trademark his image of a protester throwing a bunch of flowers. The European Union trademark office has thrown out his trademark and accused him of being “inconsistent with honest practices” when trying to protect it.
