A craft brewery may stand in A-B's way to trademark "Brewed the Hard Way. Kansas City's Martin City Brewing Co., which makes a beer called Hard Way IPA, filed a trademark application for the phrase "Hard Way IPA" a day before A-B's application, on Feb. 5.

Martin City's application is for "actual use," saying it began using the phrase it's seeking to trademark in commerce on Feb. 1. A-B's application is for "intent to use."

The trademark office suspended A-B's application May 13 while Martin City's application proceeds, saying Martin City's application "may present a bar to registration" of A-B's trademark.
