The Fourth Dimension of a Poem and Other Essays. M. H. Abrams.

This article examines the relatively new fields of colour and shape trade marks. It was initially feared by some academics that the new marks would encroach on the realms of patent and copyright. However, the traditional requirements of trade mark law, such as functionality and descriptiveness, have meant that trade marks in colour and shape are extremely hard to acquire if they do not have factual distinctiveness. As colour and shape trade marks have no special restrictions, it is proposed that the combination trade mark theory and analysis from the Diamond T case should be used as a way to make them more accessible. The combination analysis can be easily applied because every product has a three dimensional shape and a fourth dimension of colour.

Different Tissues

Growth—the progressive change in size and complexity of a person as he moves toward maturity—is often viewed as anatomy's "fourth dimension." It is the "dimension" that provides change: change in size, in proportionality, in morphology, in spatial relationships of structures, in complexity, as well as profound changes in the child's psychological and behavioral framework. As we all appreciate, an adult is not just a very large infant; instead, different tissues and structures have their own agespecific patterns of growth, which accounts for our pretty good ability to determine someone's age simply from their proportions (as in a photograph) without regard to their absolute size.
