    They should have never been granted the trademark based on prioriry. They did not coin or use the term first. They are not fighting because they know they wouldn’t survive a challenge which is why they just bullied small shops who themselves didn’t have the pockets to defend themselves.

      I don’t think that’s what happened? Based on this article and another one I read, it seems that now the Taco Tuesday trademark is relinquished meaning anyone can use it. I’m guessing taco bell would rather everyone be able to use it including them rather than it being locked down by someone who’s not them.
