Grocery store sues decentralized exchanger in Trader Joe dispute
Lawyers representing United States supermarket chain Trader Joe’s have filed a complaint in California against decentralized exchange Trader Joe. In an Oct. 5 filing in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Trader Joe’s sued Trader Joe and its co-founder Cheng Chieh Liu over federal trademark infringement and dilution claims. According to the lawsuit, Trader Joe and Liu used many of the supermarket’s ideas, from “donning a red cap” — red features prominently in the store’s branding — to its narrative for one of the platform’s fictionalized characters.
