    wowzers... someone's not telling the truth somewhere:

    o the question in this case is whether the phrase “Keep Calm And Carry On” is being used as an everyday phrase, or whether it has become distinctive so as to suggest that products bearing the phrase emanate from Mark Coop and his company. Had other companies been putting the phrase on their merchandise for a number of years, then those companies would have every right to object to Mark Coop’s registration and the suggestion that going forward only he should be entitled to apply the mark to goods. But if, as it appears, Mark Coop has been the only person applying the mark to a wide range of goods for several years now, then there is every reason to argue that people will associate the phrase with Mark Coop’s company and no reason therefore to revoke the community trade mark.
