MINNEAPOLIS -- A Minnesota hamburger parlor and McDonald's Corp. have settled a federal lawsuit over the phrase, "Who's your patty?"

Michael Lafeber is an attorney for The Lion's Tap in Eden Prairie. He said the parties reached a "mutually beneficial amicable resolution." McDonald's also said a satisfactory agreement was reached.

The lawsuit said Lions Tap registered the phrase, "Who's your patty?," in Minnesota four years ago and also applied for a federal trademark. McDonald's recently began using the phrase in conjunction with its Angus burgers.

The lawsuit had asked for monetary damages and that McDonald's be ordered to stop using the phrase on labels, billboards and other advertisements.

Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
