The Heart Attack Grill sues Heart Stoppers (FL)
Sun Sentinel has an article about the Heart Attack Grill suing Heart Stoppers in Delray Beach, Florida for trademark violations. Heart Stoppers’ attorney has the following defense:
“Their theme is completely different,” he said. “That’s one of the reasons they didn’t continue discussions with the guy because they weren’t interested in his theme. They didn’t steal the same trademarked Single Bypass, Double Bypass burger that he does. They didn’t limit their menu like he does. They don’t require their nurses to dress in a provocative manner. It changed the clientele from the Hooters-type crowd to a family-type restaurant.”
