Unicorn Meat Gets a Cease and Desist Letter

Some lawyer doesn’t understand that trademarks can be parodied. They sent ThinkGeek a cease and desist letter because they labelled a can of unicorn meat as the “new white meat.”

From ThinkGeek here:

Recently we got the best-ever cease and desist letter. We’re no stranger to the genre, so what could possibly make this one stand out from the rest?

First, it’s 12 pages long and very well-researched (except on one point); it even includes screengrabs of the offending item from our site. And we know they’re not messing around because they invested in the best and brightest legal minds.

But what makes this cease and desist so very, very special is that it’s for a fake product we launched for April Fool’s day.

Also funny is that a Google image search shows this as “other white meat:”

I guess those lawyers better keep suing these jokesters!
