In a lawsuit filed Nov. 8 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, KFC has accused fellow fast-food fried chicken purveyor Church's Texas Chicken of violating its trademark rights by using the phrase "Original Recipe" in its advertisements and promotions.

On behalf of all fried chicken lovers out there, we take it personally when another company tries to claim our iconic taste and branding as their own.'

KFC claims Church’s use of the marketing phrase will deceive customers into thinking they are buying items from KFC.
