Sweetgreen Resolves Trademark Infringement Lawsuit with Chipotle by Renaming Menu Item

Sweetgreen said Thursday it has renamed its newest menu item as part of a tentative agreement with Chipotle Mexican Grill to resolve a lawsuit brought by the burrito chain.

Chipotle filed the lawsuit, which claims that the salad chain’s “Chipotle Chicken Burrito Bowl” infringed on its trademark, in California federal court Tuesday, just days after the salad chain introduced the item.

A Sweetgreen representative said in a statement to CNBC on Thursday that the company decided to rename the bowl as the “Chicken + Chipotle Pepper Bowl” to focus on its business and serve customers without distraction.
