There was a comedian who successfully opened a coffee shop in the US named "Dumb Starbucks", logo and all. Every menu item was copied verbatim from the actual Starbucks menu but with the word "Dumb" added as a prefix.

Despite a massive social media campaign that would have certainly caught the eye of Starbucks, they received no legal threats.

This was done by an established comedian, made no profit, and immediately closed.
