Copycat Brands and Legal Battles

Copycat brands often find themselves in legal battles when attempting to ride on the success of an original brand. Whether it's mimicking a logo, menu, or overall image, these copycats risk facing lawsuits. Examples include the case of Dumb Starbucks, where a comedian used parody laws to create a coffee shop resembling Starbucks, and the South Butt clothing line, which parodied the North Face brand. Other cases involve In-N-Out Burger successfully suing Down-N-Out in Australia and Oreo becoming a top-selling cookie despite being a copycat of Hydrox.
