Auburn’s Knee Deep Brewing Co. Being Sued By Sony Over Label
By Admin on April 18, 2018
If you drink beer, you’ve probably seen Breaking Bud beer from Auburn’s Knee Deep Brewing Co. in stores. Well, the label for the beer has gotten the brewery into a bit of a situation. As in, they are being sued by Sony Pictures Television.
Breaking Bud is clearly in reference to “Breaking Bad”, which is produced and distributed by Sony. According to the Sacramento Business Journal, the company is suing for trademark infringement among other things. Additionally, they are asking that Knee Deep refrain from using the Breaking Bud name and logo design.
My Take On Knee Deep and Sony
I can see their point on the design and name similarity. But, I don’t think they need to receive compensation. It seems highly doubtful that the beer would cost Sony any money or damages. But, what do I know?
So, what do you think about the lawsuit?
