Historical Background
Hermes was founded in 1837 by Thierry Hermes as a saddlery and harness-making business in Paris. The "HERMES" trademark was registered in 1939 as the company transitioned into luxury goods. Hermes has attempted to register the colour orange as a trademark in various countries, achieving protection in some jurisdictions but failing in the EU — illustrating the challenges luxury houses face in protecting non-traditional marks internationally.
