Panda Express claims that the Trash Panda Vegan food truck in Phoenix challenges its trademark. The chain said that the name and logo are too similar, which could cause « irreparable harm » to its brand, according to a report by 12 News.
Trash Panda Vegan does not serve Chinese food, but instead serves vegan burgers, Sonoran dogs and chicken wings. The logo also features a cartoon panda in a trashcan eating a burger, while Panda Express uses a more realistic panda outline.
« I want to fight, » Krystal Mack, owner of Trash Panda Vegan, said in the report. « Because if we settle, we’re settling for less and we have to do everything all over again. »
