What would Buddha do?

The owners of a chain of "contemporary Asian" restaurants called Buddakan has sued a brand-new "Modern Asian Fusion" restaurant in Brookline called Buddachen for alleged trademark infringement.

Although Buddakan only has outlets in Philadelphia, Atlantic City and New York, it alleges people would be confused by Buddachen, which opened just this month at 1223 Beacon St. in Brookline (site of the former Jae's). The suit, filed today in US District Court in Boston, asks a judge to tell Buddachen to knock it off and pay Buddakan all the money it's made so far.

Complete complaint.
