Branding disputes
editThe chain has been involved in trademark disputes against eateries with the same name. Onsu filed lawsuits against the following people, but in each case his claim was dismissed by the court due to mala fide intent.
- Jessy Handalim, owner of Bensu (short for Bengkel Susu; the Milk Workshop in English).[4]
- Benny Sujono, owner of I Am Geprek Bensu (a portmanteau of his own name).[5][6] It has been alleged that Onsu planted a subordinate in an I Am Geprek Bensu location to obtain their chain's recipe.[7]
Detik.com reported in June 2020 that the chain's logo is based on a free vector image.[8]
