@volpeon it is simplified. colors are not patented. a color combined with a design can be, for example a logo. adobe could keep the color scheme if they would change their logo. not sure if u can patent a color to be used in any logo. more likely something like: square, round corners at a certain size, blue white, etc.

adobe cannot simply edit their logo and be done since even if it does not fit exactly the patent, it still might be too close

either they make a new one or choose another color
