Black & Decker Acquire Ownership Of Halloween

I purchased a set of nutdrivers (heh) the other day and this is the packaging (click the picture to enbiggen). Focus your attention on the text to the left of the bar code: "Orange and Black is trademark of The Black & Decker Corporation." Unless I'm pretty far off base, black and orange have be associated with Halloween for a long time now. Does this mean that we will have to start paying royalties to B&D at the end of each October. At least we can hope this ends the reign of those crappy black and orange peanut butter kisses.

@Thomas,
That is a legal battle I would love to see.
