Hey hey Hoboken, Buddy Valastro, FuHo's own Cake Boss WILL get to keep that show name after all. TLC (The Learning Channel which has very little to do with the actual Learning part) has come to an "amicable" outcome with Masters Software that owned the rights to the name CakeBoss for a software product they own.
No word of how much "amicability" costs these days but we're guessing it wasn't cheap.
At one point Discovery which owns TLC tried to get the Masters Software suit over the name thrown out as they argued 'television shows always win'. You of course remember the 'television shows always win' case from your schoolbooks along with Brown v Board of Education, Roe v Wade, and Bush v Gore. Luckily for the laws in America, 9th Circuit Judge Richard A. Jones was having none of that legal hash.
So, let's eat cake...
