    No, that does not signify a "brand". That just means they filed for a trademark for the phrase. They couldn't trademark Kodak Everyday® Originals because it has someone else's trademark within it. Doesn't mean it's not the brand.

    TM is trade mark, R is registered trade mark.

    "Presets Born from FilmTM" is their trade mark as TM says, note that they say "Kodak Everyday® Originals" and not "Kodak Everyday® OriginalsTM" because it isn't their trade mark. When they say "Kodak Everyday®" they are mentioning a registered trade mark that belongs to another company as the disclaimer says.

    Sure they use weasel words, but Mastin Labs emulation is a real operating company and I guess that their commercial wording has been analyzed by specialized lawyers to be legal.

    Using the word Kodak is the issue.

    Evidently preset emulations are legal. As defined as a Photoshop action?

    The operative words are "I guess".

    Yes, of course, IANAL. But IMHO it is a good guess.

    Also there is somethig that is for sure, their trade mark is "Presets Born from FilmTM", as the TM says.

    I'd say it does. In really big print.

    And I've already stated that using "for Brand XXX" is permitted, which is why your "for Canon" and "for Nikon" examples are both legal and not relevant to this discussion.

    I think it's relevant, you can print big the commercial literature, their Trade Mark is "Presets Born from FilmTM", not Kodak Everyday®, that is mentioning a Kodak registered trade mark, as R notes.

    But time will say it, if they infringed Kodak's protected assets then they will have problems.
