A collective of breweries has taken action against a competitor for selling beer which allegedly infringes its trademark.
In a complaint filed Thursday, December 12 at the US District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, Canarchy Craft Brewery Collective said Hard Tonic’s sale of ‘Easy Peasy’ beer amounts to trademark counterfeiting.
The name ‘Easy Peasy IPA’ is the only ‘Easy Peasy’ trademark registered in the US for beer.
Additionally, Canarchy said Hard Tonic advertises its beer on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram under the handle @drinkeasypeasy. It has also reserved the domain name drinkeasypeasy.com, the filing said.
