Copycat product and legal conflict

In the 1980s, Kraft produced an identical product with a very similar wrapper (using a polar bear) called "Polar Bar", leading to a trademark infringement dispute with a company called Ambrit, Inc., which held the Klondike trademark at the time. The United States Supreme Court let stand a lower court ruling prohibiting Polar Bar from using the wrapper, and Kraft paid $8.5 million to settle the suit. The brand had already been discontinued when bacteria was found in two ice cream factories where it was produced. An investigation started when a man died from meningitis after eating one of the bars. Kraft has more than one meaning: there is a company named Kraft Foods there is the paper industry Kraft process In the German language, kraft means force (see [1]) This is a disambiguation page — a navigational aid which lists other pages that might otherwise share the same title. ...
