Pantone: Color cannot be monopolized. However, Pantone earns money with this color. How could Pantone monopolize the color industry? The answer lies in a subtle difference: Pantone does not monopolize the color itself; it monopolizes its description. To reproduce a specific color, there must be criteria (classification and combination data) and a description. This is where Pantone’s unique approach comes in. Pantone developed the “Pantone Matching System (PMS, criteria)” and monopolized the description of how printing inks should be formulated to reproduce that color. The resolution was so systematic that it eventually became a global standard. As a result, if you cannot monopolize the essence, it is better to monopolize the additive factor. In this way, business, legally, is the act of strengthening monopoly power. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Some businesses, such as education or fitness, can succeed if only the number of aspirants increases steadily. In a business that provides a service that acquires and develops, making new customers continue without giving up determines the business’s success or failure. No matter how hard you promote, if you do not create the persistence of the aspirants, passion, and effort will lead to damage. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
