BANGOR (AP) — The legal battle between two Bangor sandwich shops over the names of certain specialty sandwiches is over.
The battle for people’s taste buds carries on.
The Coffee Pot Cafe in April asked a federal court to award it any profits Legacy Sandwich derived from several similarly named sandwiches using the words “deluxe” and “superdeluxe,” as well as damages and legal fees.
The dispute dates to the 2009 closure of another sandwich shop after 80 years in business. The owners of both shops in the legal dispute employ former workers from the closed store and both claim to have the closed store owner’s blessing.
The Bangor Daily News reports that lawyers for both eateries on Oct. 1 filed a joint stipulation of dismissal in U.S. District Court in Bangor.
