Anheuser-Busch Objects & Short’s Brewing Chocolate Wheat

From DC Brew Law:

Anheuser-Busch (“A-B”), themselves the owners of 507 of their own trademark registrations in the US alone, have opposed an attempt by Short’s Brewing Company (“Short’s), out of Bellaire, Michigan, to register the name CHOCOLATE WHEAT in connection with “beer, ale, and porter.”  This is not the first time they have tried to block a craft brewer’s attempt to trademark a “descriptive” term (see their opposition of NITRO from earlier this year).
