Thanks to "Ajilla the Hen" for this bit of news:

In Syracuse, NY, Federal Express no longer has any competition. But
not the package delivery system, where there are formidable rivals
such as United Parcel Service. No, we're talking about copyright
infringement. It seems FedEx has triumphed in its three-year battle
against a local coffee shop.

First, the shop called itself Federal Espresso. Agreeing to change,
the owners then came up with Ex-Federal Expresso. The shipping giant
still wasn't amused. Now the two have reached a settlement, and the
java business has adopted the name Freedom of Espresso.
