That’s what happens when you try to steal another company’s name. Exactly. No sympathy here.
I stopped going to Chick-Fil-A when they sued a farmer and small advertising agency for using Eat More Kale as an advertisement. What does kale have to do with chicken? I'm tired of these companies for suing small businesses, saying "people will get confused". Bull. Didn't like their chicken anyway, so no big loss. I did try one last week on appreciation day, but I still haven't changed my mind about their chicken.

This is just how the laws on trademarks are set up in the US. If you have a trademark, you must protect it, or it can revert to the public domain. Since they have spent a lot of money on their "Eat more chicken" advertising, they must protect it or it will fall into the public domain. It has nothing to do with Chick-fil-A in particular.
