KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. -A Klamath Falls donut shop is changing its name after a lawsuit was filed on the other side of the country. The Klamath Falls donut shop has only been open for about a year, but its name is similar to another donut shop in Maine.
The feud is between Holey Donuts Cafe in Klamath Falls and The Holy Donut in Portland, Maine. The Klamath Falls shop told NBC5 News the name similarity was unintentional. However, the Portland, Maine shop said they’ve had a year to change it.
“We never intended to infringe on his trademark. We did the research ahead of time,” said Michelle Newton, Co-Owner of the former Holey Donuts Cafe.
