It's our way of assuring the satisfaction of our customers. There's only one Derby-Pie®. When you see the name Derby-Pie® and the registered trademark symbol, you know you're getting the pie produced exclusively by Kern's Kitchen with the quality ingredients and special taste you expect.
According to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, trademarks are words, names, symbols, devices and/or images applied to products, goods or services to identify their source.
A trademark clearly identifies an original or distinctive product. It protects the maker's rights, and also protects consumers by guaranteeing that the product you purchase is the genuine article.
Our business and reputation rest on our secret recipe and the Brand name Derby-Pie®, which we've used for over half a century. Protecting our trademark means protecting our reputation and the integrity of our product. So although we prefer to settle differences amicably, we will resort to litigation if necessary.
