Dunkin’ Donuts Coffee Claim Shot Down
The eatery wanted to trademark the phrase “Best Coffee in America.” The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office said no. Do you agree with Dunkin’ or is there better coffee to be had right here in Westchase?
Drive around Westchase and there are a few places to get a hot cup of Joe. But who has the best?
Dunkin’ Donuts tried to stake the claim that its brew was the finest in America. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, however, just didn’t agree, according to The Boston Globe.
“Anyone at all can claim that their coffee is the ‘Best Coffee in America,’ ” trademark attorney Zick Rubin is quoted by the Globe as saying. “No one takes such a claim literally, and no one company can monopolize the phrase.”

Blech! I'd rather coffee from Racetrac than Drunkin' Dognuts. In Westchase, Starbucks is the only good option. In South Tampa, Buddy Brew reigns the coffee world.
