The Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America has sued a Maine organic dairy over claims the business was using the group’s kosher symbol without proper authorization. The union wants the court to force the dairy to cease using the symbol and is seeking monetary damages.

According to a lawsuit filed last week in U.S. District Court in Massachusetts, the Orthodox Union claims Maine’s Own Organic Milk Co. -- commonly known as MOOMilk -- infringed on its trademark, which is a letter "u" in a circle, that signifies a food has been certified as kosher by the group.

On Monday, MOOMilk Executive Director William Eldridge said he hoped to resolve the issue with the union out of court. » Maine organic dairy sued over use of kosher trademark
