BC-PA--Pennsylvania News Digest, PA

PATERSON, N.J. (AP) — A convenience store in New Jersey called Dawa has been sued by Wawa. The Pennsylvania-based convenience store giant has filed a trademark infringement lawsuit in federal court against the store in Paterson. Wawa says the store is taking advantage of its hard-earned reputation. "Dawa" is a casual way to say "come in" in Korean and is interpreted to mean "welcome." Dawa owner Mike Han told the Courier-Post (http://on.cpsj.com/2l5g2rv ) that he named it that because everyone is welcome at the store in an industrial area between a rail line and the Passaic River. But Wawa spokeswoman Lori Bruce says that the company has an obligation to protect its consumers from any confusion and protect the brand name.
