BRADFORD, Pa. -- The Zippo lighter is easily recognizable: a
rectangular metal shell with beveled edges and a gently curved flip-
top.
That simple design is just as easy to copy, and Zippo
Manufacturing Co., which has been making the popular lighters for
more than 70 years, wants that to stop.
The lighter's shape now registered with the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office, the company has been moving against makers of
imitations and pressing retailers to get the knockoffs off the
shelves. The company is telling manufacturers and vendors of copycat
products to stop by June 30 or face legal action.
