LITTLE DISHES FORCED TO CHANGE ITS NAME

I just got an email from the owner of the bistro formerly called
Little Dishes on Seventh Avenue near 13th Street. Oy for them having to
change their name. It's a great place and the food is wonderful. I don't
think the name change will be much of the problem. LITTLE D EATERY IS CUTE.
And it's a good story...


We wish to inform you that as of September 1, 2006, Little Dishes has
been renamed Little D Eatery. However, there has been no change in
ownership at our restaurant. The name changed was forced upon us due to
legal action taken by Uncommon Grounds, Inc.. They own the federal
trademark rights to the word Dishes�, which is the name of their
establishment(s) in Manhattan and elsewhere in the US. According to
their lawyers, having �Little� in our name was not sufficient to
forestall customer confusion between our two businesses. As a new small
business, we did not have the resources to fight to keep the �Dishes�
part of our name, and we have agreed to make a change.

Again, there has been no change of ownership and our mission remains
the same: to provide our diners excellent food and service.
