Is there a legal, cognizable claim for a consumer who was misled by a movie trailer? Perhaps. In June 2022, two Plaintiffs filed a lawsuit against Universal concerning a movie they streamed titled Yesterday.
For a consumer, the words "Fresh. Local. Quality." attached to a product might draw connotations of craft beer, artisan goods or farm-to-table restaurants. But could a competitor sue.
Bimbo Bakeries USA, Inc. alleged that United States Bakery engaged in false advertising when it used the tagline Fresh. Local. Quality. A jury deemed US Bakery’s tagline false advertising and awarded Bimbo Bakeries over $8 million in damages.
