3.  Loss of Revenue: Brand infringement in U.K. has reduced sales revenue on Corn Flakes  Knockoffs: Corn Flakes are easily replicated by competing brands, so Kellogg’s is using lasers to differentiate their product  Test trials: Kellogg’s is testing the laser system and if successful, will also brand Frosties, Special K, Crunchy Nut and Bran Flakes with the laser

4.  Corn Flakes are a popular product for imitators  Easy to Imitate  Kellogg’s wants to remind their consumers that they make the original Corn Flakes!

5.  “We want shoppers to be under absolutely no illusion that Kellogg's does not make cereal for anyone else. We're constantly looking at new ways to reaffirm this, and giving our golden flakes of corn an official stamp of approval could be the answer." -Helen Lyons, lead Kellogg’s food technologist

7.  Is this a complete waste of time, money, resources…?  Do consumers care where their flakes come from?  If you eat Corn Flakes, do you buy only Kellogg’s Corn Flakes?

8.  Why is Kellogg’s U.K. branding Corn Flakes?  Is Michael Phelps still sponsored by Kellogg’s?  How many times has Elton shown YouTube videos today?
