Sweets maker drops infringement lawsuit
CommentsHershey Co., the U.S. candy maker, dropped its trademark-infringement lawsuit against Swiss rival Lindt & Sprungli AG over wrapper designs for their competing peanut butter candies.
Hershey sued Lindt and its U.S.-based Ghirardelli unit in January for allegedly copying the “distinctive” orange wrappers used for Hershey’s Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup and Reese’s Pieces products. Hershey, without giving a reason, agreed to drop the claims, according to a Nov. 25 filing in federal court in San Francisco.
