The article is from November of 2012. I wonder if there was any sort of resolution yet.

I'm also wondering how you can trademark the shape of glasses as basic as those were. Considering that glasses have been worn for generations, and in that time almost every shape has been tried, how could this company actually prove theirs are different? Also, since I have no idea how big the lady's head is, how would we even know the shape is or isn't covered?

Why do some people not realize that the trademark issue applies only to commercial use of the images? I tried to make that clear in a previous post.

Because this is the Internet, where the way of the land is to read the headline, form a half-baked opinion, and post said opinion for everyone else to see.
