Controversial mega chef Oliver Gordon was humiliated yesterday after losing his battle over the PanGalactic trademark, and must now close his restaurant due to spiraling legal costs.
The case had been raised after Pan Galactic Mining Corp issued a writ demanding he change the name of his restaurant and pay substantial damages for infringing intellectual property.
A corporation spokesman released the following statement:
"Pan Galactic Mining Corp rigorously defends its brand, and are disappointed Chef Gordon did not accept our offer to become Pan Galactic Mining Corps preferred catering partner with a new restaurant name as part of our company portfolio."
With his characteristically short temper, Gordon gave this colourful response:
"I am the galaxies greatest artisan chef and I will not degrade my art for anyone. I'd rather eat a printed hotdog live on Galnet than work for Pan Galactic making sandwiches for business seminars like a lackey."
