Maybe it is because this is a screen shot from a TV broadcast, but this matchstick does not appear to have a green head. I thought the only color Mr. F used for the business end of his "trademark" was green.

Several of the folks who offered statements in support of his trademark application specifically commented on the green matchsticks, and all of the photos of the hats included in the trademark application appear to include matchsticks of the green variety.

The color green clearly appears to be a function of the alleged mark. The trademark examiner should have pointed that out.

I don't wanna be rude or anything but I would like to correct a statement made early saying that hornskov is the only hatter in Denmark as there are actually 6 one of which is the second oldest hatter in the world still in function

named petitgas and is located on koebmagergade 5 in Copenhagen and is currently being run by a lovely elderly couple and has been in business since 1857 which is where I'm planning on taking my 1912 a f bodecker silk topper for a refurbishment

PS:my ''reply/comment''? is properbly a tad bit off topic
