In Lambing v. Godiva Chocolatier, 142 F. 3d 434 (6th Cir. 1998) [Lambing], the court stated plainly that recipes are not protected by copyright, completely ignoring the possibility that a recipe could contain enough expressive elements to make it copyrightable.

Canadian courts have not yet addressed the issue of copyright in recipes […]. Under Canadian copyright law, facts, formulas, and ideas are not protected by copyright. This means that just like in the U.S., recipes which only list ingredients (facts) and the steps that one takes to complete the recipe (formulas) are likely not protected by copyright in Canada.

Based on current Canadian copyright law and the leading caselaw on the subject in the U.S., a list of ingredients or matter-of-fact instructions regarding the process of creating a recipe is unlikely to be protected by copyright law.

TIL Coca-Cola is a country in the US.
Ah yes, the Country of Coca-Cola. Located in Atlanta Georgia, Coca-Cola, 30313.
Look, I don’t know how a country is located in a city, which itself is located in the country, which is located in the zip code.
I don’t understand a lot of things in life! But I’ll unrelentlessly believe every single thing I ever hear, from every single person who says anything! Surely theres no controlling party with an agenda that stands to gain power and influence by controlling the masses through a series of misinformation campaigns over the coarse of multiple generations spanning back nearly a centry ago…
Welp. See you all at the polls this Tuesday! What could POSSIBLY go wrong???
Not very surprising tbh. More reasonable even to call it a country than a person
Yep, swipe input with midnight brain do be making those alternative facts. Thanks for pointing it out.
