Trader Joe’s filed a lawsuit against its union on Thursday for copyright infringement, claiming that the union’s merchandise was too similar to the Trader Joe’s logo, and demanding that the union’s profits off that merchandise be given to Trader Joe’s.

“For more than fifty years, Trader Joe’s has worked tirelessly to assure that the TRADER JOE’S mark is associated only with goods and services of the highest quality,” read the lawsuit, which was filed against Trader Joe’s United in the Central District Court in California. “As a result of Trader Joe’s remarkable success, the TRADER JOE’S Family of Marks have come to symbolize extraordinary goodwill and have achieved great fame both within the United States and around the world.”
