Re: Ah, you mean like the lawsuit McIlhenny launched (and subesequently lost) against a Mexican restaurant Well, ma'am- short answer is you couldn't be more wrong. Tabasco did NOT lose the lawsuit and the restaraunt changed their name. Not sure where your info came from- maybe you ought to quit smoking your own chipotles ;-) Tabasco has an active trademark in the food service category (as well as a host of other categories) and so this was a no-brainer for anyone looking at it. I, for one, am *glad* they didn't loose. I've spent a LOT of money trademarking my stuff, as I'm sure you did on Pepperfire Foods also, and it would be a messy world indeed if all that was for naught! Nice to know you have recourse if someone decides to start up a Peppermaster Hot Sauce on the back of your hard work. -Jim http://www.StepUpforCharity.org
