Starbucks Loses Korean Logo Fight

[Brian]

Quoted from The Marmot's Hole:

In February, JP of Japundit noted how Starbucks was duking it out with Asian coffee houses that were using logos that resembled Starbucks’. Well, a Korean court has ruled against the global coffeehouse chain in its case against local coffee chain Starpreya, explaining that the logos just weren’t similar enough.

In case you wanted to know how state-owned news agency Yonhap was reporting the decision, here’s how it begins:

Giant multinational firm Starbucks dropped to its knees today in its courtroom dispute with a native medium-sized firm over ‘knockoff logos’

(emphasis and eye-roll mine)

Hilarious!  The Korean logo looks better to me anyhow, maybe Starbucks should use it as inspiration?
