Settlement allows ‘Cake Boss’ to keep using the name

HOBOKEN— The Learning Channel’s “Cake Boss” won’t have to change his name after all, according to a report from the Associated Press.
An agreement has been reached between a Seattle software company and the cable channel that airs the reality series “Cake Boss” featuring Carlo’s City Hall Bakery on Washington Street.
A federal judge in Washington state had temporarily barred the show from using the name because Masters Software of Seattle has been selling business software for bakery owners called CakeBoss since 2007, before the reality show went on the air.
An attorney for Masters says that under an agreement between the parties, “Cake Boss” Buddy Valastro can use the name on the show and Masters can still use it for its software and other items, according to the AP.
