Description
The chicken wars have ignited again, but this time it's about who gets to call their recipe 'original.'
Last week, KFC sued Church's Chicken alleging trademark violations. The chain was founded as Church's Fried Chicken To-Go by George W. Church, Sr in April 1952, in San Antonio across the street from The Alamo.
KFC claimed in a lawsuit that beginning Sept. 30, it noticed Church’s “abruptly” began using the phrase and ignored KFC’s Oct. 24 letter objecting to the ads. In the disputed promotions, Church’s posted photos of its fried chicken deals with text above reading: “our original recipe is back.”
