Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
A little
spat has broken out in Switzerland over a trademark dispute over a red ribboned Easter bunny.
Chocolate makers Lindt says it holds the right, copyrighted since 2000, to manufacture golden Easter bunnies tied around the neck with red ribbon. In neighbouring Austria Hauswirth also makes a similar product and has done for 50 years.
Hauswirth is a small company in comparison to Lindt and refused suggestions from Lindt's lawyers to replace the wrapper with a bronze one or the red ribbon with a green one. A court order prevented Hauswirth with selling their bunnies this year; a move that prompted them to give away thousands of chocolates to children across Austria.
A further court date has been set for June.
