"Little Caesars has made immediate and significant efforts to comply with the court’s preliminary injunction order. Although the vast majority of the materials with the term 'Pizza Puffs' have been removed or destroyed, Little Caesars is dealing with some logistical issues relating to physical drive-thru menus at Little Caesars restaurants with drive-thru operations," Little Caesars' Chicago-based attorneys with Crowell & Moring claimed.

Citing logistics challenges with external printing vendors, an NLJ 500 firm asked for a slight extension on an order that barred its pizza chain client from using an allegedly infringing trademark on its promotional pieces.
On Tuesday, Chicago-based attorneys with Crowell & Moring asked a federal judge to stay a Dec. 19 preliminary injunction that ordered Little Caesars to "immediately stop using" the term "Pizza Puff" to describe its miniature deep-dish pizza. After U.S. District Judge Jeremy C. Daniel of the Northern District of Illinois sided with the plaintiff, the Illinois Tamale Co., known under the name Iltaco, in its request for a preliminary injunction, the plaintiff attorneys with Saul Ewing claimed Little Caesars was still using the "Pizza Puff" phrase on its website.
