Guns N' Roses sue brewery over Guns 'N' Rose beer

摘要

In a California court filing, the band argue that consumers are likely to be confused by the branding from Oskar Blues Brewery, part of the Canarchy Craft Brewing Collective, and could assume it is an official partnership. The complaint argues that the band's brand has thus had "irreparable damage" done to it by the craft beer, and has "suffered and continues to suffer and/or is likely to suffer damage to their trademarks, business reputation, and goodwill". It argues that the brewery "should not be entitled to continue to sell infringing products and intentionally trade on the GNR's goodwill, prestige, and fame without GNR's approval, license, or consent". The band are seeking damages and legal costs.
