Great job! I’m looking forward to that review of the tokijna – it’s the next lens I was thinking of buying.

Great job, this has been a great year to shoot Nikon, and a gret year to rumor mill, and a great job was done!

I will see if I still have it. Its definitely not in my current brochures so perhaps its not – or they couldn’t demonstrate it being exclusively identifiable with their brand.

have you tried emailing Nikon themselves and just asking if it is a trademark?

I can imagine there would be a stink if Canon introduced a camera with a similar red flash on the hand grip which makes me think that they could claim it is theirs and part of their brand image. I have an early F3HP when it was just a red vertical stripe so it has been an identifiable feature – though evolving over a couple of decades.

I wouldn’t rush to remove it – if it is theirs they will be sure to let you know ‘politely’ first before sending in the lawyers ;o)

I did research that – I searched everywhere, I posted this on forums and the feedback I got is that it is not a registered trademark/tradedress of Nikon. If it was, I would think that they would published it everywhere in the small prints. Can you maybe send me a picture of this brochure? Or maybe I should remove it just to be on the safe side. Has anyone else seen this as a trademark/tradedress?
Thanks

I am not a practicing legal professional but isn’t that big red ‘flash’ you have used on this post a Nikon trademark? I recall reading a Nikon Europe brochure a few years ago that had in the small print at the back a list of the copyrighted and trademark objects/symbols/words in brochure and it specifically mention the “red Nikon flash” which was interesting at time as I had always wondered what to call the red stripe/swoosh/kiss on the handgrip. They apparently call it a flash. Anyway, you prob know better than I do but thought I would mention. Happy New Year to all… soon be here where I am!
