Trademark's a weird one, if you don't defend it you lose it. So it's kind of a lose-lose situation from the trademarkers position. They have to pursue or they lose their trademark which they value

I mean, if they don't care about the actual usage, they could licence it for a buck or something
As a non-American, US intellectual property law feels absolutely ridiculous to me sometimes. It feels like it incentivizes all the wrong behaviours.
It's hard to balance but it prevents trademark squatters from existing like in the domain name space
My guess is that this is going to go the same way as McDonalds v everything with the letters M(a)c, and Starbucks v Sattar Buksh
I read way too much of that article
“Restaurant selling badly-packed-kebabs, is sued by content host showing videos of badly-packed-kebabs” The irony…
You forgot to include "stepsister" in the description.
Well... You're looking for flesh in both places so 🤷♂️
BönerHaus?
Well, with the picture cut off at first I thought it said "boner haus."
Ive seen plenty of them
All I'm getting out of this is it's potentially possible to get doner kebab in the US, and I should take a trip to New York
They have a lot of gyros that aren't gyros and are actually turks doing kebabs so there might be more than you think
We used to have a pretty good German street food restaurant in Fresno of all places. They had a pretty awesome döner. Unfortunately that only lasted like 2 years before closing.
I live in a doner desert. I mean, there are places that CLAIM to have doner kebab around here, but they have apparently never been to Germany. There's something so perfect about Turkish food with heavy German influence that I haven't been able to find anywhere outside of Germany.
I'm glad you had two years of joy in Fresno, but sorry about the closure
There's a place in Dallas with döner kebab in the name.
Yeah, but is it comparable to German doner kebab?
There's ten places with that in the name where I live, and all of them are pretending to be doner kebab
Damn I knew verge was shit but they're just linking to other sites articles and presenting it as a tweet?
"Come get stuffed"? "Big Doner Energy"?
Cmon

Wait until they see "Smoke Hub" in Bakersfield, CA.
It's literally the porn hub logo.
There is a gas station in Iowa that uses the same logo. I think it's called like 1Nine or something like that.
