    The Olympics did send a cease and desist to Olympic Provisions (a salami maker in Portland, Oregon). So they had to change their name to Olympia Provisions. Perhaps the Olympics felt threatened since people often confuse ‘finocchiona salami’ with ‘finishing a giant slalom’.

      Doesn’t necessarily mean the Olympics were in their right.
      More likely that the salami maker wanted to avoid / could not afford a legal battle.
