Los Angeles Hot Chicken Restaurant Angry Birdz Sued by Video Game Maker | Eater LA

"This East Hollywood Nashville-style hot chicken spot transitioned from a Pita Hut into a hot chicken concept to capitalize on the local craze and sits less than a block from the original Dave’s Hot Chicken parking-lot pop-up. Its menu borrows heavily from that scene, offering tenders and tender sandwiches with striped sauce lines designed for maximum Instagram appeal. The restaurant’s signage uses a 'z' and a font resembling the well-known mobile-game branding, prompting Rovio Entertainment to send a cease-and-desist in February and later file a trademark-infringement lawsuit seeking unspecified damages and a share of past profits after no response from the owners. The owners did not respond to requests for comment, and the dispute highlights the broader, copycat-heavy saturation of Los Angeles’s hot-chicken market." - Farley Elliott
