Early history of Coca-Cola trademark

Coca-Cola was created on May 1886 by Frank M. Robinson, bookkeeper to the creator of the drink itself, Dr John Stith Pemberton.

It was created after Pemberton satisfied with his new product but at that time it was simply calling ‘my temperance drink’.

The name was registered as a trade mark on 31 January 1893. The name was suggested based on two of the drink’s ingredients: extracts from coca leaves and from the cola nut.

Robinson also suggested that the name be written in Spenserian script, a popular penmanship f the era; it was from his pen that the ‘Coca-Cola’ signature originated.

Coca-Cola gain popularity rapidly and it was first bottled in 1894. In 1920 Supreme Court of United States ruled that Coke was the exclusively property of the Coca-Cola Company.

By 1959, the president of the Coca-Cola Company was referring to it 'as a meaningless but fanciful and alliterative name’.
