ANHEUSER-BUSCH SUED FOR USING 'SPUDS MACKENZIE' TRADEMARKS

摘要

Anheuser-Busch coined the name "Spuds MacKenzie" for a bull terrier used in 1980s advertisements touting its beer, but a trademark suit filed in a Manhattan federal court says the brewing company can no longer use the canine mascot. See Spuds Ventures LLC v. Anheuser-Busch InBev Worldwide Inc. et al., No. 17-cv-1877, complaint filed (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 15, 2017).
