MX r ledldeir's restaoirartt seed ln-N-0ut Burger chain claims it has been ripped off Grace Leong DAILY HERALD There's often a long line at Chadder's in west American Fork and some are wondering why so much in fact that In-N-Out Burger, based in California, Cali-fornia, is suing the local restaurant restau-rant for infringing on company trademarks, from the menu to the way food is packaged. Some say Chadder's is a dead ringer for the Irvine, Calif .-based .-based fast-food chain. Arnold Wensinge'r, vice president and general counsel for In-N-Out recently placed an order at Chadders for an "Animal Style Double Double with Animal Fries," and got his order without any questions which could be a problem for Chadder's, since the "Animal" style burger is one of In-N-Out 's federally registered trademarks. In-N-Out filed a trademark infringement lawsuit last week against Chadder's and its owner, own-er, Chad Stubbs, in U.S. District Court in Salt Lake City. A hearing hear-ing on the matter is scheduled Monday. In-N-Out Burger has 207 locations loca-tions in Arizona, California and Nevada. It sells more than 100 million burgers annually and spends about $35 million in advertising. ad-vertising. Chadder's has one location 599 W. Pacific Drive in American Ameri-can Fork. It opened in mid-May. Sterling Brennan, lead counsel coun-sel for Chadder's, says there is a "fair amount of misinformation misinforma-tion and unsubstantiated rumor floating out there." "Chadder's wishes In-N-Out all the success, but doesn't believe it is violating any of In-N-Out's protectable rights or trademarks or trade dress," he said. "We're willing to work in a cooperative fashion to resolve legitimate disputes In-N-Out believes be-lieves exists."
