The Defendants undertook to cease making use of the ‘trade dress’ (colour scheme) and forgo filing an application before the Trademark Registry for registration of a logo; the Plaintiffs agreed to not pursue damages and other compensation. Looking at the colour scheme, itself applied in a unique manner, it was proven to have characteristics of a trade mark on the basis of the duration for which it had been used, documents evidencing the same, literature of the Plaintiff pertaining to agricultural equipment and monies spent advertising the same.</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" ><strong>Relevant : General Electric Company v.
