More Than Pancakes: IHOP Trademark Dispute

The International House of Pancakes has sued a Christian organization called the International House of Prayer for using the IHOP acronym. In addition to having similar names, the line between the two IHOP entities is further blurred by the fact that the International House of Prayer operates a couple of coffee shops and cafes. The International House of Pancakes believes that the International House of Prayer is unfairly profiting from association with their organization in their food sales.
