In case you didn’t know, the Met Police in London looked to get a cut of all uses of police boxes in Doctor Who merch.

The U.K. Patent Office found against them, on the basis that, by now, a police box was just the TARDIS, and the Met were no Time Lords.

@Tupp_ed Interesting! Do you have a link to (or cite for) the decision?

@design_law I did. I will see if I can have again.

@design_law While I look for the original link, here is a contemporary report:
