“Crowell & Moring Seeks Extension for Little Caesars in Trademark Dispute Compliance”

In a recent legal development, NLJ 500 firm Crowell & Moring has requested a 20-day extension for their client, Little Caesars, to comply with a preliminary injunction issued by a federal judge. The injunction ordered the pizza chain to cease using the phrase “Pizza Puff” for its miniature deep-dish pizza following a claim of trademark infringement by the Illinois Tamale Co., also known as Iltaco. Little Caesars has reportedly made significant efforts to remove the disputed term, but faces logistical challenges, particularly with regard to altering physical drive-thru menus at its outlets. The request for a stay of the injunction underscores the ongoing logistical difficulties faced by Little Caesars in ensuring full compliance with the court order.
