STAR OFFE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS s this a Starbucks? No. Dumb Starbucks is not affliated in any way with Starbucks Corporation. We are simply using their name and logo for marketing purposes How is that legal? Short answer- parody law. Can you elaborate? Of course. By adding the word 'dumb', we are technically "making fun" of Starbucks, which allows us to use their trademarks under a law known as fair use'. Fair use is a doctrine that permits use of copyrighted material in a parodical work without permission from the rights holder. It's the same law that allows Weird Al Yankovic to use the music from Michael Jackson's "Beat It" in his parody song "Eat It" So is this a real business? Yes it is. Although we are a fully functioning coffee shop, for legal reasons Dumb Starbucks needs to be categorized as a work of parody art. So, in the eyes of the law, our "coffee shop is actually an art gallery and the "coffee" you're buying is considered the art. But that's for our lawyers to worry about. All you need to do is enjoy our delicious coffee! Are you saying Starbucks is dumb? Not at all. In fact, we love Starbucks and look up to them as role models. Unfortunately, the only way to use their intellectual property under fair use is if we are making fun of them. So the "dumb" comes out of necessity, not enmity. Okay, I think I understand now Great. Anything else? I guess not. Okay thanks. See you later For any other questions, please contact us at DumbStarbucks@gmail.com.
