Court tosses Hooters lawsuit against rival boobs-n-booze chain
Following up on this previous BoingBoing post: a federal judge has ruled that a Florida chain restaurant featuring scantily-clad, buxom waitresses -- and hot wings -- did not infringe on the trade dress of the Hooters restaurant chain. Snip from IP Law Bulletin article (paid sub required)
"I have been falsely accused of cheating by an aging restaurant chain that is slipping," said Crawford Ker, WingHouse founder and owner. "Yesterday the judge has cleared me of any wrong doing. It has been proven that Hooters does not have a monopoly on wings and attractive women."Link to Bloomberg's report. (Thanks Jason!)
