Dunkin’ Donuts "Best Coffee" Claim Shot Down

Drive around Safety Harbor and it is evident there are plenty of places to get a hot cup of Joe. But which local establishment can claim to have the best cup of coffee?

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.”
