In-N-Out Sues Maryland Burger Stand For Copyright Infringement
LOS ANGELES (CBS) — What's in a name? Plenty, especially if it looks just like a world famous burger chain's.
In-N-Out, headquartered in Baldwin Park, is suing Grab-N-Go Burger in Aberdeen, Maryland for copyright infringement.
The Grab-N-Go logo features the same red letters and a similar yellow accent as the west coast legend. In-N-Out also alleges that the restaurant's menu features red checkerboard designs, similar to their own.
"We will always vigorously defend our trademarks against any and call copycats but, as in every case, we also look for friendly resolutions with all parties," In-N-Out attorney Arnie Wensinger told the OC Register Wednesday.
The recent lawsuit is not In-N-Out's first stab at protecting their logo. The company sued four other burger stands across the U.S. since 2000 and won.
