Just weeks after its much-heralded arrival in the UK, US yoghurt heavyweight Chobani is facing a potentially damaging lawsuit in the High Court over its right to use the term ‘Greek yoghurt’. Fage, the Greek owner of the Total Greek Yoghurt brand, is suing Chobani because it wants it to stop describing the yoghurts it sells in the UK - and which are made in the US - as ‘Greek yoghurt’. Only yoghurt made in Greece should be called ‘Greek’, it argues - products made elsewhere should be described as ‘Greek-style’ instead.

But to grow in the 21st century, the company knows it needs to do more than that. For that reason, Boeing [BA 72.82 -0.88 (-1.19%) ] has been aggressively diversifying. Take space, for example. The company was recently awarded a $460 million contract by NASA to pursue human spaceflight for government and commercial purposes. That's small change for a $55 billion company, but Boeing clearly sees space travel as a key component of its future. So what makes Boeing think they are so likely to succeed? 
The analogue industry is at an inflection point, says Tunc Doluca, CEO of Maxim Integrated.

Companies which can build highly integrated solutions can benefit."

Turkish immigrant Hamdi Ulukaya always wondered why U.S. yogurt was so bad. Now, his New Berlin, New York-based Chobani is the leader in Greek-style yogurt. A self-described “dairy boy,” Hamdi Ulukaya grew up in Erzincan, Turkey, working on his family’s dairy farm and in its feta cheese operation. After studying politics in Turkey, he initially came to the U.S. to study English at New York's Adelphi University, and then to do graduate work at SUNY. In 2005, Ulukaya says he used an SBA loan to buy an old yogurt-making plant in upstate New York. Now Ulukaya’s company, Chobani, has more than 1,200 employees, annual revenues of more than $600 million, and is building a plant in Australia. Ulukaya spoke with Inc.’s Kimberly Weisul about start-ups, ghosts, and, of course, yogurt.
