Jewish group drops lawsuit over kosher symbol
A group of orthodox Jews has withdrawn a federal lawsuit alleging a northwest Indiana convenience store chain illegally used a trademark for kosher food.
The Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America filed a motion Monday to dismiss its complaint against Luke Oil Co. Inc. in U.S. District Court in Hammond. Court documents say the two sides reached a settlement.
The Jewish group had alleged that Luke Oil used the kosher trademark - a U inside a circle - as part of its logo. An attorney for the group says people rely on the symbol to determine which food is prepared according to Jewish dietary law.
Luke Oil attorney John Senica says the resemblance was unintentional. He says Luke Oil has agreed to modify its logo without admitting any liability.
