FAIRFIELD, Conn. (AP) - A judge on the Food Network reality
television show "Cupcake Wars" has resolved her lawsuit with a
Connecticut cupcake store over its name.
Candace Nelson's company, Sprinkles Cupcakes, settled its
federal trademark infringement lawsuit against a store named Pink
Sprinkles last week. The lawsuit claimed the similarity in names
was likely to cause confusion in the marketplace.
An attorney and a spokesman for Pink Sprinkles say the store in
Fairfield will now be called Pink Cupcake Shack.
The lawsuit said Sprinkles Cupcakes opened its first store in
Beverly Hills, Calif., in 2005 and became a national phenomenon as
the cupcakes were featured on shows hosted by Oprah Winfrey and
Martha Stewart. Pink Sprinkles opened in 2009.
An attorney for Sprinkles Cupcakes hasn't returned a message
left Tuesday seeking comment.
