Taco Bell seeks to "liberate" Taco Tuesday trademark from Taco John's
In the realm of taco enthusiasts, the phrase "Taco Tuesday" has become synonymous with a midweek celebration of everyone's favorite Mexican dish. Recently, fast-food chain Taco Bell challenged Taco John's trademark ownership of the phrase, arguing that "it should belong to everyone." While it is true that companies can hold rights to certain trademarks, the case of "Taco Tuesday" exemplifies the delicate balance between protecting brand identity and preserving the public's right to use common phrases.
