Guns N’ Roses sues brewery for trademark infringement

American rock band Guns N’ Roses has filed a lawAmerican rock band Guns N’ Roses has filed a law suit against a Colorado brewery for trademark in fringement over a beer called ‘Guns ‘N’ Rose’, the media reported. The band, who rose to fame with songs like November Rain, Sweet Child O’ Mine, Patience and Welcome to the Jungle, has claimed that the Canarchy Craft Brewing Collective’s Oskar Blues Brewery started selling the craft ale as early as 2018 without their approval, reported a website on Friday citing California court documents as saying. Merchandise such as hats, t-shirts, pint glasses, stickers, buttons, and bandanas carrying the Guns ‘N’ Rose logo was also sold, the band said. Last August, the brewery attempted to register the logo but abandoned its application when lawyers for lead singer Axl Rose and other band members argued it was “confusingly similar” to the Guns N’ Roses logo, according to the court documents. Despite being asked to stop selling the beer, Oskar Blues reportedly refused and said it would continue until March 2020.  (IANS)
