KFC Takes Legal Action Against Church's Over 'Original Recipe' Claims
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Yahoo Finance

KFC has filed a lawsuit against Church's Chicken for using the term "Original Recipe" in its promotions, a phrase KFC has trademarked since 1984 to describe its signature blend of 11 herbs and spices. KFC claims Church's use of the term causes consumer confusion and damages its brand. The lawsuit seeks to stop Church's from using the phrase and demands unspecified damages. This legal action follows a decline in KFC's sales and increased competition from other chicken chains like Popeyes.
