In July, Taco Bell removed brand restrictions on restaurant chain Taco John’s on “Taco Tuesday.” In a filing with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Cheyenne-based Taco John’s waived any further claim to “Taco Tuesday” in 49 states, ending a high-profile dispute with Taco Bell.

“While Tuesday holds a special place in our hearts and will continue to do so, this celebration is not just about opening a taco tab. It’s about supporting every single person who makes, sells, eats and celebrates tacos. This Taco Tuesday is for them,” said Taylor Montgomery, chief marketing officer of Taco Bell US.

While “Taco Tuesday” has become a familiar phrase used frequently in restaurants and elsewhere, Taco John’s has worked hard to defend its more than 40-year-old trademark of the term in the 49 states excluding New Jersey.

Many restaurants faced legal risks for using the term “Taco Tuesday” before the law changed this summer. Some of them received cease and desist letters from Taco John’s.
