I am a trademark paralegal and their trademark application is almost certainly going to receive an initial refusal from the USPTO for being a generic description of the goods (it is still awaiting examination). Maybe they have some crafty arguments up their sleeves, but I think the more likely strategy they will take is to switch their application to the "supplemental register" - this is a separate register of marks that are descriptive or generic. This doesn't provide the same protection but it creates a claim that you are the only one using the generic term as a trademark, and if you can continue to be the only person using the mark for a few years or so you can re-apply for full protection by claiming that the mark has "acquired distinctiveness" based on exclusive use. But even this whole strategy is shaky because at any point other people that have used "chili crunch" as a mark or just a product description could step in to challenge the application. My bet is he ultimately isn't going to get the mark, but it will be interesting to see what happens.
@@felderup It is technically possible to trademark a completely generic word, but it's extremely difficult. You basically have to be the only person using it as a mark for a long time and then prove to the USPTO that consumers recognize it as a brand rather than a generic term. And sometimes the reverse can happen: a trademark can become generic and lose its protection. For example, velcro used to be a trademark and now anyone can use it because it became generic.
@@marcusperry5973 According to Wikipedia: The green cap and rooster logo are trademarked, but the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office considers "sriracha" a generic term.
Totally getting ‘Coming to America’ vibes: ‘We’ve had some trouble with the McDonald’s people. They’re McDonalds, we’re McDowells, they have the Golden Arches, we’ve got the Golden Arcs, they’ve got the Big Mac, we’ve got the Big Mick!’ McDowells, Queens, NY - home of the Big Mick!
Great episode. Reminded me of that time Paris Hilton tried tm words lol. If I'd get a letter from Chang ordering me to stop calling it chili crunch, I'd simply call it chili Krunch and use the money I'd save on legal fees to start an add campain, to let everyone know that chili Krunch taste better than Chang's Crunch, because it's not scummy or something😂
What really makes my ass itch about this David Chang story is that I bought a variety pack of Momofuku Chili Crunch and it arrived the day before the news got out. Still gonna eat it, but I ain't proud.
Lol, the timing was a couple weeks different for me, but same. And its nothing special, I'll stick with Lao Gan ma. I guess his argument is the generic term is chili crisp, his is chili crunch as a brand name, But come on momofuku(which his restaurant while I liked I think it was overrated.) is his brand name not crunch.
Hooray! I am so happy to hear it arrived and not lost in the mail after how long it's been since it was mailed out. I am glad you enjoyed the little artwork I created. Hopefully next time I will try something larger. Thanks so much for sharing it on this episode.
❤You guys rock! Why is it so hard to get more people watching? Both of you are knowledgeable as well as hysterical (Frenchy in particular). MORE VIEWS!!!! I’m talking to you, ladies 🎉 You’ll love these guys !
This is exactly why I recommended the David Change topic in the Discord 🤣 I knew it'd be a good topic. BRIAN! Don't you DARE call those of us out creating a jawline within our beards LMAO. Also, Brian, going through hard shit and being vulnerable ain't bein NO BITCH. Is all good, dude ❤
Small correction: its not David Chang/Momofuku trying to trademark Sichuan Chili Crisp, that would be Fly by Jing from Jing Gao. Which I think is also pretty sketch. Her defense apparently is that because she's actually from Sichuan that she has some kind of legitimacy to claiming such a trademark is my understanding.
Finally woke up early on a Thursday again to watch you guys in an episode premiere, and it feels like the best morning!❤ the best chemistry happens on this podcast 😊
Why the situation reminds me of that of the Fine Brothers, who wanted the copyright on the "reactions" format, because, in their heads, they were the first to make the reactions of children, teens, adults and the elderly! The problem is that they wanted Copyright on the word "reacts", so any person on TH-cam using the word reacts was infringing copyright. After the entire TH-cam dumped an avalanche of fecal mass on them (figuratively speaking), they decided to apologize and not continue on that path, even if their reputation was destroyed, so much so that they had to sell the brand they had created! 😂 LMAO
@@SYWGFpodcast Totally could! I have pictures, after throwing together a huge catering order, of us passing a rolled finger sandwich with twisted ends. Just to lighten the mood after a busy day
Put the little art in a big frame together and make a collage. Also, new member of the 10% female club. I've binged so many of these episodes and I love you guys. I plan on going to both restaurants soon and will hopefully see you guys.
Appreciate the Podcast a bit more today. Working on driving from Los Angeles, CA to Phoenix, AZ and heading from Phoenix, AZ to Albuquerque, NM. With an ending goal of Denver, CO for work. This took up an hour of that drive time and I thank you for it! Also, who's this new Lenny guy? He really makes Brian look like he has his stuff together! Should have him on more. I mean, Lenny even looks a bit like Brian...🤣
It's called Balut - and it's fertilized duck egg. I think it's been featured in Fear Factor too. Definitely an acquired taste but I do like it. I prefer the ones during the early stages though. You two should try it for funsies LOL. Love the podcast BTW!
You guys should touch some more on the origin of Sriracha topic. It is going to be a learning experience. a brief explanation would be that it was originally Cantonese garlic & chili sauce that the Cantonese immigrants in Thailand was selling in the town of Sriracha. Then one of them commercialized it into Sriracha brand chili sauce in Thailand. A Vietnamese who stopped by Sriracha before he immigrated to United States liked it so he made an copy/adaptation of it using local ingredients in the US. Whether or not he kept its name to pay the homage to the true original is another question, but the US Sriracha and Thailand Sriracha are completely unrelated to each other, unlike Red Bull where the original owner actually own a good portion of its now international brand.
I’m with Frenchy!! Haha when I saw the pic of the clown hand holding the kids hand, I seriously expected Ronald to come out grab the order, and have Brian turn and give a thumbs up!! Ahhhh Wasted opportunity!!! Hahaha Wishing you guys the best
speaking of head injuries, i have two dents from dogbite on mine, i was a baby at the time so it's permanently in my skull, looks like a dimple in my scalp.
I didn't know who David Chang was until I watched Ugly Delicious, I really enjoyed the first season... even though he banged on about how kids use to laugh at his smelly food and there was no respect... yadi yadi ya... but for the most part it was a good show... THEN he did Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner... This is when his true colours came through. I remember the one that turned me off was with Chrissy Teigen (again no idea who she is), they were in Marrakech, they visited a pottery factory and the staff was trying to show them how to make pottery, they giggled and laughed about nothing all the way through, clearly stoned out of their heads... It was disrespectful and rude, the staff had no idea why they were laughing.... So this whole time David went on about being disrespected, he doesn't know respect and I mean he doesn't have any for himself hence he has none to give. I'm not surprised Antony Bourdain said he wouldn't be a good father.... clearly he knew him better than we did...
Excellent video. I don't want to be pedantic, but since you always are looking to learn: Ají, having an accent mark on the second syllable, is pronounced ah-HEE There is no ají verde. Ají is a Peruvian word for chili pepper, so you have things like ají amarillo (yellow chili), ají panca (the red, almost tomato-ish chili), and about literally 1000 other varieties. There is, however, no ají verde to my knowledge. What you mean to say is, salsa verde. I believe it has ají amarillo, lime juice, cilantro, and maybe 1-2 other ingredients. I cook Peruvian food all the time (my stepchildren are 1/2 Peruvian), but I don't usually make the sauces for the pollo a la brasa, since that's essentially fast food, and I don't have a rotisserie oven at my house anyway ;) I'm super impressed that you made a sandwich with pollo a la brasa and salsa verde, btw. Again, nothing in this verbose comment of mine is meant to criticize negatively.
The difference between Frenchy and the FOSB and David Chang with chili crunch is that Frenchy at least created the FOSB and came up with the name. He COULD have copyrighted and trademarked it but didn't. Change on the other hand is trying to trademark a name for a dish that was used beforehand.
Remember that guy who allegedly trademarked the word Edge in videogames and went around threatening anyone with Edge in their video game name for years? He's the reason why Soul Edge was renamed to Soul Calibur. The reason why he stopped is because he tried his shenanigans with Mirror's Edge and EA fought back.
David Chang bought the trademark for Chili Crunch (or some variation or that) from some Mexican food company that got it before they decided not to let people trademark common foods like ketchup. If he applied for the patent today it would 100% be rejected. But he does own it so they were trying to bully other companies to stop selling with that name. After all the bad press though he did announce yesterday that he wouldn't enforce the trademark, I wouldn't be surprised if he tries to say it was his team or whatever, but it took him more than a week to announce he would drop it so I wouldn't believe him if he did.
David Chang kind of lost me when he started pimping microwave cookware, but this Chili Crunch apocalypse is a whole other level. I think i saw him walk back on the sue happy stance because the backlash was large.
I need to fight that Sriracha topic. Sriracha was a brand of Thai chilli sauce with a different logo name by the women who name it after her hometown some Vietnamese guy like it so much he went and made the rooster logo sauce in America. Morally since he based it on the original sriracha sauce tradmarking it would be super evil of him. It always annoys me when my international friend want to buy sriracha in Thailand but they want the rooster logo one that’s not even Thai 😂. This is a great episode though.
i'd like to see them react to the crazy shit, that involves trade marking the color orange. it was from the guys at crayola, it was all over the news by way of c span, it was crazy and it was absolute bat shit crazy, i know it's not food related, however it does impact packaging and the ability to use that color in logos. this came up, because of the fact that channels like my second one, has orange in it now and had a lot less in it now. it comes up in this comment, because of the fact that i notice that there are a lot of banners on this site, that use the color. it won't be long before, it comes up again. the David Chang madness reminds me of this.
I know that chili crisp is the more common word used but wasn't it been called both chili crisp and chili crunch for a very long time, before Momofuku was founded or David Chang was even born? The fact that Chang thinks he has the right to claim ownership of an existing dish name is hilarious and shows that he wants to kill off his competition. He even claimed to be the first person to ever call it chili crunch and that the name was created by him to be a brand name for Momofuku"s version of chili crisp, and that the name chili crunch did not exist before he used it.
Is he going to sue the big corporations that make chili crisp? Probably not lol what a joke. Came out three days ago that he apologized to the small businesses over the chili crisp lawsuits lol
Sure he’s waiting for it to die down, but I don’t it will fully ever die down; because at the very least any Asian American is going to remember this and will not forgive him!! To me it’s a Asian eyes type look with the Asian mother going “shame on you, you’re a extremely bad man!” I know I won’t forget. Especially as a Asian American who wished he didn’t go that route, and won’t purchase his food of anything; unless it’s my last resort because I don’t want to support someone who’s putting any of our people down!! We can all thrive as Asians, and not do this to each other!!
@34:05 This, this is what 100% of ley-people who are outraged by David Chang dont know or probably don't care to know. Yes, Momofuku made a dick move to try and trademark and enforce chili crunch. The probably stems from his previous settlement regarding chile crunch where his company settled and that trademarked ended up on his "plate." There is investor money behind these trademarks. It's not the company (momofuku) money they are playing with. Also, with Trademarks, if you do not enforce it you will lose said trademark. So, imagine if you have an investor seed a 6-figure sum to acquire trademark and then decide not to enforce it. Your hands end up tied unless your okay flushing an investors money down the toilet.
Well, since Taco Bell successfully bullied Taco John's out of the Taco Tuesday trademark (thanks to all the avocado huggers out there and campaigning celebs like Lebron James), other powerful people and entities of influence are sure to start throwing their weight around. It's really sad.
I do have something to say. I am on disability, i am unable, By Law, to work, all these "you can do it if you want it" things need to be taken with a grain of salt.
I'm not s ure what the obsession is with people insisting we need to suffer and struggle for growth? Like I get life is hard...most cause assholes insist on keeping it hard cause things were rough on them, so it should be suffered forward forever.

Great jokes frenchy, and BALUT is cooked!!! It’s hard boiled!!! It’s good, and yummy; but some might not actually try it. At least try it once!!

Fun idea: Frenchy starts out perfectly in focus...and gets slightly more out of focus for ever beer he has...

So Frenchy is just a guest?!?
With out him this is nothing.
Give him props!

I mean, I've never heard crunch before. Only crisp.
You CAN NOT claim words that call a chair a chair. That make literally no sense.
Is he going to sue the big corporations that make chili crisp? Probably not lol what a joke.
Came out three days ago that he apologized to the small businesses over the chili crisp lawsuits lol
