Default Unilever, Suing Over Rival's Use of 'Mayo,' Changes Own Website

The law says "mayonnaise". It makes no reference to the word 'mayo'.
And that is pretty much the summation of the legal dispute. Hampton
says they're free to call it 'mayo' because the product description
law only uses the word 'mayonnaise'. Unilever says everyone knows that
'mayo' is short for 'mayonnaise', so the law should be interpreted
with that understanding in mind. The courts will have to decide.
