NORTH ATTLEBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts coffee shop owner says he received a cease-and-desist letter from Dunkin' Donuts claiming trademark infringement for riffing on the chain's catchphrase. 
 
 Steve Copoulos tells the Sun Chronicle (http://bit.ly/2slf5yU ) he added window art reading "North now runs on Mike's" on his Mike's Coffee shop in North Attleborough. 
 
 While he expected a few laughs from customers, Copoulos says he was surprised to find the letter from the Canton, Massachusetts-based coffee shop chain claiming he was infringing on their "America Runs on Dunkin'" slogan and Copoulos' variation implied an affiliation. 
 
 Copoulos says he wants to be the "exact opposite" of a corporate coffee chain and has since erased the sign. 
 
 Dunkin' Donuts, in a statement, said it wrote the letter, "In support of our legal rights under trademark law and in support of our franchisees."

 Information from: The (Attleboro, Mass.) Sun Chronicle, http://www.thesunchronicle.com ||||| BOSTON (AP) — A Massachusetts man who sued a pair of Dunkin' Donuts owners because he said he was given a butter substitute when he asked for real butter on his bagel has won a settlement. 
 
 The Boston Globe (http://bit.ly/2ogQP2u ) reports that Jan Polanik's suits name two companies that together own more than 20 stores. 
 
 Polanik's lawyer, Thomas Shapiro, acknowledged that his client's complaint is "a minor thing," but they decided to sue "to stop the practice of representing one thing and selling a different thing." 
 
 Shapiro did not disclose the settlement's terms, because it hasn't yet been filed with the court. 
 
 An attorney for one franchisee confirms that the case has been settled and the stores have changed their butter-serving protocol. A spokesman for the other franchisee could not be reached.
