- z2 9mo agoCould they have gotten around this by actually serving Eggo waffles? Would that have then fallen under nominative fair use?
- mattmaroon 9mo agoI doubt it, no. I couldn’t go buy Taco Bell sauce at the store, serve it at my restaurant, and call my restaurant Taco Bell. They could probably mention it on their menu.
- fc417fc802 9mo agoI'm guessing (NAL) that would actually make it worse. Trademark violation revolves around brand confusion. If you actually serve their product you are making that _much_ more likely (in my uninformed opinion anyway). Otherwise it's a standalone argument about a stupid pun applied to food in general.
