(Although technically “kogi” is just the Korean word for beef, so I’m not sure if it’s illegal to use it in this way.)" The ignorance is mind-blowing -- Kogi is a made-up trademark word from the actual owners and creators of the Kogi BBQ Franchise -- an actual registered trademark. So yes, you can sue and NO its not the same has McD's sueing BK for use of the word "hamburger." ITS NOT THE KOREAN WORD FOR 'BEEF.' If you're gonnna run a food site you can get that right can't you? Technically? “I just hope Baja Fresh adds it to their Midtown location (on Lex btw. 45+46th), before they get sued and have to scrap the whole thing!
