MADISON, Wis., Feb. 6 /PRNewswire/ — Fiskars announces that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has granted a trademark registration for the color orange on its iconic scissor handles. The orange-handled scissors from Fiskars are part of the permanent design collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, as well as the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
According to Creating Keepsakes Magazine, Fiskars is also the official favorite scissor of crafters. This is the eighth year in a row that readers of the popular craft magazine have awarded Fiskars the honor of “Favorite Scissors” in the Creating Keepsakes Readers’ Choice Awards.
“Over the years, the color orange has become synonymous with quality. We are proud to be recognized as the ‘authentic’ orange-handled scissor,” says Fiskars Craft President, Chad Vincent.

Today the orange scissors are the iconic symbol of the excellent ergonomic design and superior quality associated with every product from Fiskars.
