SUMMARY: Oreo maker Mondelez has sued Aldi, claiming the store’s house-brand packaging copies Oreo’s distinctive blue design and cookie likeness. The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court argues Aldi’s packaging infringes on Oreo’s iconic trademark. Mondelez also alleges Aldi copied packaging of other brands like Wheat Thins (named Thin Wheat) and Utter Butter Cookies (Peanut Butter Creme). Aldi has not commented on the lawsuit. Despite the claims, many shoppers appreciate Aldi’s low prices and are aware they’re buying store brands, not the originals. A judge will decide if Aldi must change its packaging. Until then, enjoy the savings.
