Backshore Brewing Wins :Shorebilly” Trademark Suit

From USA Today:

BALTIMORE -- A federal judge rejected a couple's claims of trademark infringement by a Boardwalk brewery over the name "Shorebilly," and also revoked the couple's trademark, which he ruled was obtained fraudulently.



U.S. District Court Judge Marvin J. Garbis found in favor of Danny Robinson, the defendant and owner of the former Shorebilly Brewing Co. The plaintiffs are Marcus and Barbara Rogerson, doing business as Teal Bay Alliances, LLC. They filed suit against Robinson and his Southbound One Inc. in July 2013 to defend their trademark for the term "Shorebilly," which they used on T-shirts and stickers.
