Different contenders included John Lewis: Life is gorgeous, John Lewis: Life effectively beloved, John Lewis: For each second and John Lewis: For the love of life – all of which the retailer trademarked it appears though it couldn’t for John Lewis: For all life’s moments. How one can trademark such on a regular basis phrases solely a lawyer might let you know. Insanity, some press releases we get have so many TMs in them they appear like Morse code.
