Moosehead Breweries Files C&D Against Hop N’ Moose

From VTDigger:

Moosehead Breweries Limited, based in Saint John, New Brunswick, sued the Hop’n Moose Brewing Co. last week in federal court in Vermont, alleging trademark infringement.

The Canadian firm alleges that the moose image the downtown Rutland brewpub uses is too similar to the moose head with antlers the larger company uses in its logos and branding materials.

The Hop’n Moose Brewing Co. logo, as seen on the brewpub’s website.The lawsuit asks for a jury trial and wants Hop’n Moose ordered to hand over any profits it has made while using the moose image. It also wants the Rutland company to stop using the image and to “deliver up and/or destroy” all trademark infringing products.

The filing also demands that Hop’n Moose stop using the domain address for its website, hopnmoose.com.
