Mars Mired in Milk Chocolate Melee
Yet another suit is hawkish over Dove Bar packaging claims
Strike Two?
Here’s a follow-up to the recent battle between Mars Wrigley Confectionery and Mohammed Garadi. If you recall and of course you do; you hang on our every word, right? Mars and Garadi were locked in a deadly duel of catty memos regarding Mars’ motion to have the case dismissed.
