About Cadbury Creme Egg
The Cadbury Creme Egg has been made in its current form since 1971 and is sold only between January and Easter, a deliberate scarcity that produces an annual surge in sales and an annual argument about whether the recipe has changed.
Trademark record for Cadbury Creme Egg
The USPTO record for the Cadbury Creme Egg mark lists CADBURY UK LIMITED as the owner of record (serial number 78849742). A trademark is often held by a group company rather than the listed parent, so the registrant's name can differ from the owner named above.[2]
