    Question "EAT MORE KALE" t-shirt infringes on Chick-fil-A patent???



    Chick-fil-A is claiming that consumers
    are confused between its slogan “Eat Mor Chikin”
    and a Vermont artist’s “Eat More Kale” t-shirts.

    But who can’t tell the difference between chicken and kale?



    Chick-fil-A is still bullying Vermont artist Bo Muller-Moore
    to stop using the slogan “Eat More Kale.”

    Should corporate bullies be allowed to ruin small businesses

    because of their frivolous well-financed trademark claims?

    Nope, but that is the culture you have over there.....

    I didn't read the article, but to answer your question, no. In this case, I see no infringement. How can anyone claim the right to the words "Eat More" whatever? If I were the artist, I would worry about it and kindly tell Chick-fil-a to fuck-off-a.

    This is same McDonald's have been doing for years. "Mc-anything" was chased down by corporate lawyers.

    There was a tax preparation guy in my home town in CA who had a business called McTax. McDonald's harassed him into changing the name.

    Based on the politics of said restaurant chain, an "Eat More Kyle" retort over this would be hilarious.

    Tell Shit-Fil-A to shove it up their ass sideways.
    Encrypt everything. Even if you have nothing to hide. It increases the noise floor.

    That all depends on what you call cute, but messing with a 4th grader will land you in jail.

    "Hmmmmmm....Isn't he one of Cartman's boyfriends?"
    He's the one Cartman always picks on when he's not picking his nose.
