BTW, there are a lot of hot sauces with Hell and Devil in their names, so I'm sure everyone is used to it. I'd be much more worried about infringement, although the term "Devil Dog" goes back to WWI Marines, and noone is going to confuse a hot dog with a snack cake.

I bet that if they discovered you were selling a food item using their food trademark, they would put a stop to it. Although they appear to have stopped selling the product in Florida in 2005, so you may be able to argue that point if they approach you.

I don't think they would have a case unless I was selling snack cakes.

There's devil food's cake, deviled ham, etc.

As you said, the term "Devil Dogs" is pretty old. I genuinely don't think I'd be infringing on Drakes if I used the name to sell hot dogs rather than snack cakes. Though if it would make them feel better, I'd sell their cakes too. ;)

If it turns out it does infringe on their name, I can change mine to "Red Hot Devil Dogs" or "Devil Dog Red Hots".

Think twice about the pointy horn and pitchfork mascot. FreeBSD had this cute mascot for years. But finally gave way to public perception and now have this.

Lucifer's Lunch?

Radar 03-02-2009 11:24 AM
The terms Satan, Lucifer, Beelzebub, Hell, etc. bring up menacing visions of scary stuff. The term "Devil" does not. Girls in the south often say, "You Devil" when describing guys. It's a playful, mischievous, and fun term.

How about "Must Love Dogs"?

Just FYI Radar, you'd be surprised.

Two years ago I ran the first annual Devil's Dash. It was a cross country run at Halloween. I ran it mostly because of the logo design that was on the T-shirts. Alas, I apparently was in the vast minority. The race co-oordinator got so many bad reviews of the name/logo that he changed it to Muddy Monster.

:headshake

At least now I have a one of a kind T-shirt and award.




FWIW, I have never eaten at any of the carts that pepper the ped mall downtown here. Because? Well, it just makes me nervous frankly. The people serving look scuzzy, so I honestly just don't trust their food. I might try something though if I knew of someone who ate at one regularly and hadn't gotten sick, or I knew the guy preparing the food.

Make sure you and that cart are sparkling clean if you want my business. ::2cents::

Whole-wheat buns. You'll sell only one out of 50, but it shows you care.

The cart I am going to use is very clean and professional looking and I will keep it that way.

http://topdogcarts.com/carts.html

I will also make sure I look clean and professional looking. :)


I'm nervous about being sued so I am thinking of using a 3 word alliteration for the name of the business.


Here's what I've got so far.


Dante's Devil Dogs

or

Delicious Devil Dogs
Decadent Devil Dogs
Delightful Devil Dogs

or non-alliteration

Devil Dog Red Hots

Red Hot Devil Dogs



Of these which do you like the best?
