Owner of Brewery sent a stop and desist letter for calling one batch of beer frappicino.

FUQ...
Britton wrote the brewpub has sold "at least 38 drinks" in Cottleville, and never meant to deceive customers. He noted only three customers "checked into" the beer on[URL="https://untappd.com/"]Untappd

How far up one's ass must you shove the stick before a cease and desist letter is a "respectful request?"

Wow. lol. Whatever, trademark away.

When you let [strike]intellectual[/strike] imaginary property laws (and lawyers) run loose, even the seemingly legitimate function of name/identity preservation becomes tainted by association.

So, the small NON-coffee establishment had a beer called "frappicino" (pronounced with an "ih" sound as in "it") and the much larger NON-Alcohol establishment had a beverage called "frappucino" (with an "ah" sound as in "awe". I see and hear the difference. What is the problem!

I could suggest that EVERY establishment producing ANY product whatsoever name at least one of their products "frappicino".

+1 IP laws cost lives in my opinion, and it costs society in keeping a better standard of living out of the reach for the poorer in society for a lot longer.
