Well, well, well, a win for Taco Bell. Taco John's is giving up its Taco Tuesday trademark,

0:17.0

but it's not going down quietly. They want Taco Bell to pay for picking the fight in

0:24.0

the form of a donation to charity. Over here, Taco Bell mounted a huge freeing Taco

0:30.6

Tuesday campaign, filing a petition with the US Patent and trademark office and their

0:37.2

appeal board to cancel trademarks on the common term. And Taco John said, we don't want

2:31.1

global ambassador for Taco Bell and he wanted to free Taco Tuesday. You know, why don't you just
