Taco Bell has rung up a win in its quest to make âTaco Tuesdayâ free of trademark restrictions. On Tuesday, Taco Johnâs formally abandoned its longstanding claim to sole use of the phrase amid a challenge from its fast-food rival. In a two-page filing with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Cheyenne-based Taco Johnâs gave up the âTaco Tuesdayâ trademark in 49 states, ending a high-profile spat with Taco Bell. But the dispute looks to keep simmering in New Jersey, where a restaurant promises to keep fighting Taco Bell over the exclusive right to âTaco Tuesdayâ promotions in that state.
