I am no expert, but behind the sparkles....looks nothing like "the other white meat". That looks like Beef. If they are going to call that white meat, they should have at least used some chicken.
Also if you are going to market Unicorn...those are rare I thought, you are better off getting the rich MBA's fresh out of school, and selling it at the new hip restaurant underground...not in a CAN!

Well, considering what modern day unicorns are, there could be more trouble ahead for this company.

Unicorns. Nativis' photon field superwater.
One's about as real as the other.

The only IP partner in that firm's Denver office went to Harvard Law School. I am disappointed.

I can believe in unicorn meat more than magic photonic Star Trek therapy.

Unicorns, the favorite meat of marketing departments.
So, ever get the feeling that people work far too hard justifying their jobs?

I wonder if Las Vegas will do a prop bet on whether the unicorn meat or Nativis's cancer therapy will appear on the market first.

In fairness however, Trademarks must be protected less they fall into the public domain.
Xerox (TM) has been fighting an on-going battle with just this issue.
see for example:
Elvis Estate v. Velvet Elvis Bar
http://www.worldlii.org//cgi-bin/disp.pl/us/cases/federal/USCA5/1998/491.html?query=trademark%20AND%20%20joke
Especially at paragraph 46.
The law in this area is difficult.
