A small Adelaide chocolate company has been forced to change its business logo after threats of legal action from fashion giant Chanel.

The issue was sparked when Chocolate @ No.5, located at Hahndorf in the Adelaide Hills, tried to trademark its logo and was contacted by Chanel’s lawyer who opposed the registration.

With her business located at number five in Hahndorf’s Main Street, owner Alison Peck said she could have challenged Chanel’s arguments but decided instead to redesign her logo.
