Hershey's Sues Colorado Company Over A Play On Words

and only a slightly similar one at that. It's actually closer Reese's' product, but the packaging is totally different from both brands.

not even close ...but the american law system never ceases to surprise me..the bigger hershey company will probably buy the judge and win

 

Suprized Sponge Bob didn't sue for dabby patty

 

I've never seen that brand of candy out here. But I do see the similarity.

 

I was just reading about this Nestle Death Curse ritual (NSFW). This kind of lawsuit-happy BS may put Hershey's next in line LOL

 

Remember "Auto Shack" back in the late 80s? Tandy sued and won so they became Auto Zone. In all honesty, Auto Shack was a very obvious rip. They even followed the updated Radio Shack store motif, so they were just asking for trouble. But then, they knew that. The controversy created a massive amount of free advertising and losing the case didn't hurt Auto Zone. Especially when you consider who it is that's closing stores these days.

We live in an age where people get dragged into court for nothing more than hurting someone's feelings. It should be no surprise a major brand would fight this kind of obvious association. It could also be that Hershey already has plans for such a product!!
