Major Food Group, a hospitality company based in the United States, has initiated legal proceedings against a Canadian pizza franchise, alleging trademark infringement and deceptive advertising practices.
Details of the Legal Action
The lawsuit, filed in a U.S. federal court, asserts that the Canadian franchise has used branding and marketing materials that closely resemble those of Major Food Group’s well-known restaurant concepts. According to the complaint, this has resulted in consumer confusion and is in violation of trademark laws.
Major Food Group claims that the Canadian business has promoted its pizza offerings using similar names, logos, and visual elements, which the company argues misleads customers into believing there is an affiliation or endorsement. The legal filing further alleges that the Canadian franchise’s advertising contains false statements regarding its association with Major Food Group.
Company Statements
Representatives from Major Food Group stated that the company is committed to protecting its intellectual property and ensuring that its brand reputation is not compromised. The company emphasized that it has not authorized or partnered with the Canadian franchise in any capacity.
The Canadian pizza franchise has not responded publicly to the lawsuit as of the time of reporting.
Background and Context
Major Food Group operates several prominent restaurant brands in the United States and internationally. The company contends that the alleged actions by the Canadian franchise could damage its business interests and customer trust.
The lawsuit seeks an injunction to prevent the Canadian franchise from continuing the disputed practices, as well as unspecified damages.
