Just like any business is entitled to use generic wording in the context of their product, services and industry. Functional matter “is essential to the use or purpose of the article or [that] affects the cost or quality of the article” and therefore any business or competitor is entitled to use the functional portions of the product. Non-functional matter related to product packaging is any portion of a product that is not essential to the use or purpose of the product. For example, Coca-Cola can claim trademark to the stylized appearance of the bottle, but not to the lip of the bottle.
