Katherine’s just sent out an email letting people know is that they’re being sued by Kraft food for infringing the Toblerone trade mark.
Personally, I feel it’s bullshit and it’s awful to see that this small independent business is going to have to deal with this nonsense. All the best to them and I hope it all ends in their favour. Kraft can go fuck themselves. I’m going to order some chocolate to lend some support
Quote from the email:
> I wanted to share some news with you directly, before you heard or read it elsewhere.
> We’re facing a legal claim from Kraft Foods Schweiz Holding GmbH, part of the Mondelēz group behind Toblerone, concerning our O’bar.
…
> Kraft alleges that O’bar infringes the Toblerone trade mark rights and could mislead people to believe there is a commercial connection with Toblerone.
> Its claim also includes allegations that O’bar takes unfair advantage of Toblerone’s reputation.
> We, I, dispute those allegations.
> Catherine’s Originals is an independent business with no commercial affiliation with Toblerone or Mondelēz, and we do not believe O’bar infringes the trade mark rights being asserted against it in the slightest.
