If you're in Auckland and love a good cinnamon bun, you have to try these, seriously, they’re amazing. It’s just a bit of a downer seeing big overseas companies come into NZ and start throwing around cease-and-desists at local businesses that have been doing their thing for years.

Feels a bit like the whole Popeyes situation all over again.

Support local where you can!

I guess they can't fight the suit because it's too expensive. Because they were in NZ first, they have no claim to a patent here as far as I'm aware.

Like, Burger King is called Hungry Jack's in Australia, because a small business had already registered under that name. And they deal with it.

This US business might claim Cinnabon(?) but the entitlement of this claim is maddening. Imagining joining a DnD game halfway through and demand now the sorcerer as to roll a new character because you want to be a wizard... fuck off lol

Make them pay 100% tariffs on frivolous lawsuits.

How about "THE Cinnamon Bun"

or more controversially the "FUCBun" obviously no hidden meaning at all
