Ferrari's trademark application was not "denied" or, to use the parlance of the PTO, "refused" (and the wording "trademark patent" makes no sense in any event, as these are two distinctly different types of intellectual property). The PTO examining attorney simply raised some informalities in the office action, which happens in the vast majority of U.S. trademark applications. The PTO office action had nothing to do with the Ford Mustang.
