| Dust Mite never got his Cappuccino :( |
This is the very first time I’ve ran across an ENTIRE COMPANY instead of a product a company sells being imitated.
(What’s next???) Lucky Coffee didn’t
copy Starbuck’s signature, “Frappuccino”
or its award winning “Expresso Beverages”,
this company copied Starbucks itself. (UNBELIEVABLE
when you think about it.) The man in the picture (, I HAPPILY named Lin,) looks mad because he’s sick of the knockoff
coffee, “In New York they had the real
deal, what happened??!!” Well Lin, the old saying goes, “If it smells like a duck, looks like a
duck, sounds like a duck, then it must be a duck right”? WRONG!!! It’s a cow.
(Good News!!!) In a recent
case, the Starbucks won a case against a Chinese company which opened a chain
of coffee shops under the name Xingbake. (Uhh,
what’s a “Xingbake”???) Xingbake, like Lucky Coffee, was imitating the
Starbuck’s brand and image. (Another One???)
In fact, the name “Xingbake” itself
actually meant Starbucks in Chinese. A Shanghai court ruled that the Xingbake engaged
in "illegitimate competition"
by infringing the copyright of Starbucks and
ordered it to pay compensation of £36,000. (About
time, GEEZ!!!) So Lucky Coffee, you better watch out! Who knows, maybe this coffee is just
as good or even better than Starbucks, OR MAYBE Starbucks ACTUALLY stole their design. (Cricket,
Cricket and there goes the Tumbleweed.) Not likely. When will people STOP stealing ideas from others??!! (Answer: Not anytime soon.)
