PornHub owner MindGeek is threatening a kebab shop in NYC with trademark infringement::If you’ve been listening to the Vergecast you know the standard for trademark infringement is “likelihood of confusion,” and while it’s true the Hub is known for ⚫️🟠, something tells me the folks walking into Doner Haus aren’t confused about what’s on the menu. Full story in Chelsea News, a hyperlocal NYC news site, via Verge pal Alexandra Roberts.

Idk the combination of the white text followed by black text within an orange rounded rectangle logo when paired with tag lines like 'get stuffed' might lead people to think it's a subsidiary or something similar.

A place known for it's sausages and a restaurant may seem like a strange business partnership but stranger things have happened.
