A (Plant-Based) Beef (The Trademark Lawyer)

Jeanne L. Seewald, Christopher R. Butler

A beef arose in 2022 when Vegadelphia, a plant-based food company, sued Dunkin’ and Beyond Meat claiming infringement of its federally registered trademark WHERE GREAT TASTE IS PLANT-BASED. The dispute arose when Dunkin’ used GREAT TASTE, PLANT-BASED as a slogan to advertise the Beyond Sausage breakfast sandwich that was widely available at Dunkin’ locations throughout the United States.
