Brands Can't Own Common Ground In the 1938 landmark case Kellogg Co. v. National Biscuit Co., the Supreme Court ruled that the term "Shredded Wheat" was generic and could not be trademarked. This decision established that functional product shapes and common descriptive terms belong to the public domain once patents expire. This shirt is a tribute to fair competition and the principle that common language and shapes cannot be monopolized by a single brand.
