History

DONQ was founded in 1905 in Kobe, Japan.[1]

DONQ has been part of Bakery Scan's bread identification scanner system trial since September 2012,[4] a camera software that identifies the bread based on image recognition and lists the price on the cashier.[5]

Trademark

In Aug 2018, DONQ (Japanese bakery) filed their logo trademark [6] 7 years after it was opposed by Don Q (a Puerto Rico-based rum maker company) who argued that the similarities in their name would cause confusion.[7][8]
