This bothers him so much that he whips the phone open--"Sorry, I got to do this"--and calls a friend in Paris, who doesn't answer because it's 4 a.m. there. By the time...

...Goliaths. They have even partnered with giants like Dodge, Old Navy and Quaker. To protect itself, Cereality has applied for trademarks for its name and about 50 slogans it uses in signs and ads. (Be careful next time you say, "It's always Saturday morning," or ask over the breakfast table, "What's in your bowl?") It has also applied for patents covering dozens of business processes, from cereal-storage methods--no one likes stale granola--to ways of combining Kix and Trix in a takeout...
