Is KFC right to come down hard on a pub for using the words “Family Feast”?

The pub uses the words on its own menu. I use those words when I cook my family’s dinner every Sunday, so should KFC sue me too?
If thats the case i think someone should come down hard on kfc for calling what they sell chicken.

KFC is sad. Their chicken is too small, and their chicken suppliers are known to torture the chickens. KFC throws out uneaten chicken instead of giving it to foodbanks.
KFC is pathetic for telling the pub to stop using the words “Family Feast.” KFC does not own the English language. And it’s an ENGLISH pub!!! Who’s been using English longer? The people of England, or KFC? KFC are borrowing those words from England to convey whatever they want to convey.
Although, in this climate where the U.K. will go to Iraq at the U.S.’s request, maybe they will comply.

its a legal issue. the phrase is copywrited so it is illegal to use it for business purposes. If the pub owners had any business knowledge they would know this.
