The entire 49 page law suit is posted at the site and is pretty interesting reading. It illustrates in detail the depravity of the lawyer bringing the complaint

If I called something “Old Chicago sauce,” yet, I’d never been to Chicago, nor did the recipe originate there, would that be suable? No.
What’s next, French fries, Boston cream donut, KC BBQ sauce, Anaheim peppers, etc…. What fools in this nation.
If it’s made in Texas, then calling it “Texas” is redundant.
And don’t make fun of Uncle George!
I wonder what this judge will do about all of the American flags made in China and Viet Nam...
At least it’s not New York City.
Also, Texas Roadhouse is headquartered in Iowa.
Leave Texas Pete alone! Its sitting proudly in my fridge right now. 😉
He should have read the label if he cared so much.
I bought samples of all the hot sauces for my son in law...let him pick the one he liked...then sent him 200 packets for their travels. TP was No. 1.
Texas Pete is a.... character, a person who came from Texas to NC with a recipe. Simple and there is no brand from Texas that is hurt by this sauce. The sauce is nothing like any sauce truly from Texians. Quite popular in Texas NC and all over the country.
Don’t know who is bringing suit, but this reminds of the “case” presented on ABC by Sam Donaldson against a Salisbury, NC based grocery which was damaged by “hygeine” issues, depressed in value and then acquired by DelHaize company of Belgium (see: InBev)— now called Food Lion. And it is much more crappy a store than the one ABC helped destroy.
Can we get a photo of the judge— Judge me some ping pong. What the hell kind of name is that and who apptd it?
Marginally sounds Thai.
The real question is does Hillary have a bottle of it in her purse?
This does raise the issue of favorite hot sauces.
I like so many different kinds that I took a convenience store cardboard 4 cup holder, reinforced it with packing tape, and use it as a “condiment basket”, sometimes called a “table caddy” or other names.
Tabasco
Louisiana Hot Sauce
Trappey’s Red Devil Sauce
Trappey’s Peppers in Vinegar
Guacamaya Authentic Hot Sauce
El Pato Hot Sauce
Cholula Hot Sauce Original
Salsa Huichol Hot Sauce
Frank’s Red Hot Original
Valentina Salsa Picante
Tapatio Salsa Picante
Note: I have steered away from the many Habanero or stronger sauces out there. Ghost pepper is right out.
While there is such a thing as a protected “geographical indication” under US and int’l trademark laws,
https://www.uspto.gov/ip-policy/trademark-policy/geographical-indications
I don’t find any such protection for “Texas hot sauce,” (as there is for, e.g., “Champagne”, “Cognac”, “Parmesan cheese”, etc.) and the trademark in question here does not even call itself that - the word “Texas” is only used as part of a fictional character name.
The judge seems out of her depths.
daFUQ????
Of course. It requires such an education to be swayed by such stupidity
