Krispy Kreme goes after 36-year-old ice cream stand for TM infringement Posted by Jason Schultz Another classic case of overly-aggressive IP lawyers: Channel 6 News asked people Friday when you hear Krispy Kreme, what do you think of? "Good donuts." "Donuts." "Donuts." "An Ice Cream Cone." Ice cream cone? Yes. That's what Krispy Kream Drive In on Route 422 in Cambria County sells. The current owners have been in Belsano since 1968. Christina Hoover owns the Ice Cream shop with her husband. She tells Channel 6 News, "We're an ice cream fast food stand. It's a drive in." And business is good. Then in the past month two letters from Krispy Kreme donuts. The corporation is not happy with them. But it's not about donuts and ice cream. The problem has to do with the name. Krispy Kreme donuts wants Krispy Kream Drive In to change theirs. Amy Hughes is the Communications Director for Krispy Kreme. She tells Channel 6 News, "Unfortunately this business is violating a federal regulation trademark that we've had since 1951. And we've respectfully requested that they cease doing so within a reasonable amount of time." corante.com
