I was curious today as I was looking at the various trade mark filings and for no reason at all I looked up Gallaher's War Horse trade mark. It was filed on May 22nd 1925 and expired on January 10th 1986. Trade Mark number is 71214722. Here is an interesting thought as the Trade Mark in the US appears to have been abandoned as far as I can see. Some enterprising chap could grab it and reproduce War Horse if there was enough demands for the stuff. Our firm are members of the Patent Bar so you would probably give a very sympathetic hearing to someone who wanted to give this a go. You would have to create a new company to manufacture the stuff - the idea of Gallopers War Bar has a certain amusement value about it. Anyway if clubs are making their own blends then to recreate War Horse should not be too difficult if someone still has a sample. I think it might be fun and certainly challenging!
