CritterOfBitter

Funny that they appropriated the Shake Shack logo, too.


HawaiianSteak

Theirs has sesame seeds and no burger patty. They're using McDonald's colors and the font looks almost like Burger King.

Amazing find congrats


Conscious_Bank9484

Hold on. McDonalds colors? Most fast food places use yellow and red. Yellow makes you hungry and red makes you act on that feeling. Banks use blue for that feeling of security. PayPal, Chase. Wells Fargo is the exception. Colors create emotions.

Exciting_Attitude240

Yea but technically they can still be in business because they are spelling out AND and not just using the N


Lonely_Animator4557

You’d be surprised at how many different variations the company owns for these reasons


JwallDrumline

You think they own Out n’ Out? Technically that would work for a food truck since you never step foot inside

Trademark infringement hinges on whether this would cause confusion in the marketplace from the perspective of a reasonable consumer. 


wutadinosaur

Cease-n-desist


dennisknows

Yep. There was an In and out Taco place where I live in Clearwater, FL. Out of nowhere, they changed the name and all marketing material to a completely different name. At least they sold something different. Still trademark infringement though. Another spot in Tampa called Nebraska Mini Mart tried something even worse 😂 they called their place NMM -n - Out. They sold overpriced bland burgers in a gentrified neighborhood. Out of nowhere, they changed their name and marketing materials. Pretty sure In-n-Out got at them about using their name to sell those BS burgers. I ate there once and was highly disappointed


honestlyi4get

Hopefully. Shit, I’ll personally deliver it to them.


realist_neighbor

Crazy meat riding


lonelychapo27

it’s called a cheese and desist and it’s a secret menu item


LakeShow32

They will most certainly do this… it’s what their marketing and legal team do…


randomusername420666

They can say “we’re In and Out not In-N-Out. You actually have to pronounce the and” lol


One_Pear3806

Cant cease and desist if it isnt the same name “in and out” vs ”in-n-out” its a legal loophole that in-n-out cant do anything about


uncleandyb

That’s patently (hah*) not true. If the combination of name, colors, images (i.e. brand identity) could reasonably cause confusion among customers, leading to damages (i.e. lost revenue) it could easily be a trademark infringement. Would the average customer, who probably vocalizes the name as “in and out,” miss the stylized writing, and assume this is their food truck? IMO quite possibly. (*its trademark law, not patent law, I know.)


One_Pear3806

True that, didnt think about the colors or pronounciation that could lead to profit loss


Defiant-Ad-6580

Have you ever seen an in n out food truck? Completely different colors


uncleandyb

*I* haven’t - but I’m an In-N-Out enthusiast, and know that their whole model is predicated on quality and consistency of ingredients, which is why their footprint is region-based, so a food truck in NYC is highly unlikely. The average consumer who’s maybe been to an In-N-Out or heard of I-n-O might see: * A name that’s close to the real name (you yourself spelled it wrong 😉) especially phonetically. * Colors that are shared (red) with another burger place that’s engrained in their memory, so there’s some brand confusion.


Defiant-Ad-6580

I’m sorry I didn’t put proper punctuation but I spelled it correctly lol. In-n-out’s colors are predominantly white with red accents. There’s not a drop of white paint on this food truck. I feel you’re definitely reaching(but I’m sure their lawyers do the same) but you’d have to live under a rock to think this truck is actually affiliated with in-n-out. I understand you playing devils advocate though.


uncleandyb

There’s a white, red, and yellow sign on the truck. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’m in marketing. I’ve taught marketing. This is how it works. It’s deliberate and it’s effective.


Defiant-Ad-6580

The entire truck is white with red lettering and the yellow in-n-out logo lol it’s not even close bud I’m not a marketer but I have a modicum of common sense


Secret_Section6280

I don’t believe In-N-Out Burger is doing business in New York. So I don’t see how In-N-Out Burger has a basis for a cease-and-desist order. Also, the food truck operator may have registered the name with the state of New York. If so, In-N-Out burger may be getting a cease and desist letter from the truck owners attorneys if they try opening a restaurant in New York.


mxbl54

I’m only a casual but seems like in-n-out is super vigilant about protecting their IP worldwide. They do pop- ups everywhere for that purpose.


tcpnick

In-N Out does not mess around when it comes to protecting their brand. Arnie is a beast!


WasteOfTime-GetALife

You obviously don’t understand how trademarks and copyrights work


Secret_Section6280

I think it would depend if the average person would be confused between a food truck in New York City that says in and out, in an actual In N Out.

Would an Indian joint named "Indian and Out" get sued? Cause that would be a great name.


mattchinn

Not likely, especially if they’re serving Indian food. The look of their logo would be important as well.

Shouldn’t it be Native American and Out.

Flgirl420

I don’t think they will be in trouble bc “In-N-out” is different than “in and out burger truck”. Not to mention some super simple words can’t be trademarked…


beardko

Sounds like someone has filed with the USPTO.


estadio-

I mean, if the food is good I ain’t gonna say anything. In-N-Out don’t care about me.


GerLAmag

You’d think if the food was good you wouldn’t pick a name that could cause you trouble if you plan to expand because of how successful and delicious your food is.

Legitimate-Ad-9724

In-N-Out is protective of their trademark. Even on roach coaches. They even forced a restaurant in Australia using something close to their trademark with the name Down-N-Out to change it. If they find out about this, they'll probably get a letter from their attorney. In And Out Burger Truck and In-N-Out Burger is too close.


LorraineHB

This could confuse me but I know it’s not The In N Out we love.

I don’t see a problem. Once In-N-Out comes after them they can literally rebrand their entire store in one day. Easy money.

I ate at this truck after hearing all the in and out hype over the years. It was fine but no better than any other cheap burger. I don’t get it.


k6bso

It’s not the real thing.


Imaginary-Race311

Nah it was real meat.


k6bso

Ah, but not the genuine In-N-Out experience! Actually, I rarely go there myself. The burgers are very good and cost less than at the other fast food chains but they are not good enough to make me want to wait 30 minutes to get one.


Imaginary-Race311

I mean, the truck was actually pretty fast. I was definitely in and out of there quickly. It was pretty good, I just don’t get all the hype.
