A family-owned Maine restaurant is demanding a trial of a claim by a nightclub operator that its use of the word “Tao” is trademark infringement.
In a November 1 answer filed by Tao Restaurant LLC to a complaint that Tao Licensing LLC filed in the District of Maine in October, the restaurant demanded a jury trial of the case. The restaurant’s filing stated that “there is no likelihood that consumers in the geographically relevant location of Brunswick, Maine would confuse Tao, a quiet neighborhood restaurant in Maine with Plaintiff TAO, a Las Vegas and New York nightclub whose website features hip/hop techno music and scantily clad employees and patrons.”
