◎張沛元

A New Jersey convenience store called Dawa has agreed to change its name after a lawsuit from Wawa, according to recently filed court documents.

根據近日提出的法庭文件，（美國）新澤西州一家名叫「達瓦」的便利商店，在遭連鎖便利商店「瓦瓦」提告後已同意改名。

The stores agreed that the Paterson-based store would change its name, though the filing doesn’t specify what it will be called, according to a proposed order filed in U.S. District Court.

根據向美國地方法院提出的建議命令，瓦瓦同意新澤西州派特森市的達瓦改名，但文件並未指明將改為何名。

Pennsylvania-based Wawa has more than 700 convenience stores in six states and filed a trademark infringement lawsuit earlier this year against Dawa, saying it’s taking advantage of Wawa’s hard-earned reputation.

總部設在賓州的瓦瓦在6個州有超過700家便利商店，今年初對達瓦提出侵犯商標的告訴，聲稱達瓦利用瓦瓦好不容易建立起來的名聲牟利。

"Dawa" is a casual way to say "come in" in Korean and is interpreted to mean "welcome."

「達瓦」在韓文中是非正式的「請進」的說法，可被解釋為「歡迎光臨」。

Dawa owner Mike Han said in February that he used the name because everyone is welcome there.

達瓦的老闆麥克．韓2月時表示，他用這個店名是因為歡迎所有人大駕光臨。

Wawa’s name is derived from the Lenape tribe’s word for Canada goose.（AP）
