What is a Trademark?
A trademark is like a special sign or name that a company uses. It helps people know which products or services belong to that company. For example, the name "Roscoe's House of Chicken 'N Waffles" is a trademark. It tells you that the restaurant is the real one. Companies protect their trademarks so others cannot use them. This stops people from getting confused.
Lawsuits Over the Name
In 2008, another restaurant opened in Chicago. It was called "Rosscoe's House of Chicken & Waffles." This name was very similar to the original Roscoe's. The original Roscoe's chain decided to take legal action. They wanted to protect their trademark. The Chicago restaurant had to change its name and logo. This shows how important it is for companies to keep their unique identity.
