McALLEN, Texas - And now this: Subway is threatening anyone making - and selling - a footlong anything with infringement of trademark. The Subway restaurant chain has mailed cease-and-desist letters to mom-and-pop eateries nationwide that use the term "footlong" to describe menu items.
"I saw that and I said, 'Get outta here!'" said Tom Rodriguez, owner of a designer hot dog eatery in town, who received one. He said his shop has been advertising footlong hot dogs since 2005.
Subway counters that the company has applied for trademark protection related to the term "footlong."
Word is Subway may not be interested in small-time hot dog eateries, but a spokesman for the sandwich giant said the company is still targeting shops advertising footlong sandwiches.
