International House of Pancakes is suing Kansas City based International House of Prayer for ‘allegedly’ violating their trademarked name ‘IHOP’. I'm sure Mike Bickle thought this name through when he started the ministry, right? I mean, IHO-Pancakes has been around for a long, long time. It's a nationwide chain, an American tradition, a household name. But really, IHO-Pancakes and IHO-Prayer have nothing in common. I'm sure the number of people that have walked into a IHO-Prayer and ordered a Root Tooty Fresh ‘N Fruity is nonexistent; and the incidents of folks walking into a IHO-Pancakes looking for the prayer room is slim to none. It seems that IHO-Pancakes is concerned that customers might think that they are ‘Christian.’ Wouldn't want that to happend now would we! Anyway...
I'm interested to see how this plays out.
