trademarking red shoes

 

some of you may be aware of the vivid red soles on Christian Louboutin shoes. The high-end designer says four separate styles of Yves Saint Laurent shoes infringe its trademarked sole. The four YSL shoes are red all over — including the soles. The question here is can they trademark the color red. My guess if that they will not be able to, but an interesting case to follow.
