The Original Burger King, Mattoon, Illinois
View Original Description
Burger King has the right to use its name throughout the entire United States, except for a 20-mile radius around an this unrelated restaurant in Mattoon, Illinois.
It's definitely better than the chain Burger King.
The restaurant's founders claim that it is the "original" Burger King and predates the fast food chain. A 1968 court case between this restaurant and the larger Burger King chain is a notable case in United States trademark law regarding the Lanham Act.
