From today’s New York Times ~ is this yet another trademark infringement?

A rolex (a vegetable omelet, not the watch) is popular on the streets of Kampala, Uganda. The name may come from saying “rolled eggs” three times fast.

But you have to buy three of the non-Vegan versions and establish a relationship with the vendor before you can get one of these.

Yeah, I saw that article as well. And had the exact same thought. Unless someone is marketing those as Rolexes (e.g., new at McDonald's the Rolex!) they would have an uphill battle since it is a nickname.

It's why Marvel Comics hasn't sued people using the Hulk nickname. But if Rolex started marketing it as the Hulk....

You would have to be a bit of an Explorer to be eating street food in Kampala, Uganda.
