Taco Bell has won a major victory in its quest to make “Taco Tuesday” free of trademark restrictions, with Taco John's formally abandoning its decades-old claim to own the phrase in 49 states. Taco Bell's victory means that the phrase “Taco Tuesday” is now free for all to use, a major win for the company and taco lovers everywhere. However, the dispute is still ongoing in New Jersey, where Gregory’s Restaurant & Bar is still fighting Taco Bell over the exclusive right to hold “Taco Tuesday” promotions.
