#Nontroversy: Hall & Oates Sue Over “Haulin’ Oats” Granola

The owner of the Brooklyn-based company Early Bird, Nekisia Davis, has made her toasted “Haulin’ Oats” granola for years now, but Daryl Hall and John Oates just caught on — and they got their lawyers involved. The duo is suing Early Bird for supposedly profiting off of their fame:

“The name and mark Haulin’ Oats is an obvious play upon Plaintiff’s well-known Hall & Oates mark, and was selected by defendant in an effort to trade off of the fame and notoriety associated with the artist’s and plaintiff’s well-known marks.”

…or is it just a silly pun? Hall & Oates is seeking damages and insisting that Early Bird change the name. Legally, not being a lawyer, I’m not sure they have a leg to stand on, but when you are two of the most successful singer/songwriters of the past 40 years AND you’ve got $35 million in the bank (each) this kinda looks like bad form to me.
