A company named Art Van Furniture is asking its customers which of ten proposed designs it should use for its delivery trucks. One of them shows a couch emerging from what looks like a big candy bar's wrapper. Cute and harmless, no?
Not according to Hershey. They're filing a lawsuit against Art Van, claiming that the design is likely to cause confusion in the marketplace. Like people are going to think that Art Van's couches are made out of chocolate?
When people talk about "frivolous lawsuits," this should be the kind of thing they're referring to.

I should write a sternly worded letter.
Oh, and I voted for that design on the Art Van website. 😊
You can easily go to the voting link, it's labeled as "win a $50 gas card" with a shadow truck bearing a question mark on the side.
I voted for the yummy looking leather coach, too.
